It is with a heavy heart that we remember King of Carnival 2003, Richard West Freeman, Jr. He was a wise, kind man who gave so much to our community. nola.com/news/richard-freema…

We're adding the Butterfly King to our amazing stainless-steel cups. These are the best cups in carnival, and you will continue to use them for years. #rex2026 #hailrex #greenmardigras

Float 29 is a real-life, local story of renewal. Once nearly gone, the whooping crane now soars again thanks to conservation. 🕊️ #rex2026

Float 28 celebrates spring itself. Ostara brings flowers, eggs, and life back to the world after winter fades. 🌼 #rex2026

Our 2026 parade theme, Rebirth and Renewal, was translated beautifully into our theme cup. You will want to catch and then re-use this cup throughout the year. #rex2026
