The Barney Street Celebration (also dubbed The Barney & Baby Bop Celebration) was a mini show/parade that ran at Universal Studios Florida from April 3-18, 1993.
Synopsis[]
An entourage of children greet the crowd. They wish that Barney could join the festivities and, with the magic words, "Shimbaree, Shimbarah", the big purple guy magically shows up on his very own float. Barney reveals he has a surprise for everyone in a giant present, which is revealed to be Baby Bop. Barney and Baby Bop encourage everyone to sing along with them to a few of their favorite songs.
Songs[]
Barney has a high-pitched voice like in Barney's Magical Musical Adventure and the second season but the songs are from Season 1.
Legacy[]
The success of the Street Celebration led The Lyons Group and Universal to consider a permanent home for Barney at the park. In November 1994, "A Day in the Park with Barney" was announced and would open in July the following year.
