Krewe of Rex Parade and Fat Tuesday Walking Krewes, Mardi Gras 2023! The KING of CARNIVAL in all his Glory!!!

Hello Everyone,

We hope you are doing well. To be honest, we have been a little under the weather in the past few days. Thus the reason it has taken a little longer that usual to release more parade content to you! With that said, here we are with Rex. Rex a.k.a "School of Design" is one of the OLDEST krewes that parades in the New Orleans Area! The Rex King is known as the King of Carnival and has presided over Mardi Gras for over 100 years! With the Rex Parade, we also decided to feature the Walking Krewes that paraded before Zulu and Rex this year. These Krewes were The Pete Fountain Half-Fast Walking Krewe. A Krewe that was started by Legendary Musician Pete Fountain! We also had the New Orleans Baby Doll Ladies as well as a couple of others. So we hope you enjoy this combo video and we have a TON more Mardi Gras to come!

Here is more info on the "School of Design", also known as REX! From their website [ Ссылка ]

The Birth of Rex
Rex entered the picture in 1872. New Orleans was struggling to recover from the lingering effects of the civil war, and divisions and isolation prevailed. At the same time, many city leaders saw the need to bring some order to the chaotic street parades of Mardi Gras day. The news that Russia's Grand Duke Alexis Romanoff would visit Mardi Gras and New Orleans provided another impetus to add order and brilliance to the day. This portrait shows the Grand Duke as a dashing young man, about the time he made his visit to New Orleans.
"Pro Bono Publico"
The group of young men who founded the Rex Organization hoped not only to entertain the Grand Duke, but also to create a daytime parade that would be attractive and fun for the citizens of the city and their guests. True to the Rex motto, "Pro Bono Publico—for the public good," they succeeded beyond their hopes. They selected one of their members, Lewis J. Solomon, to be the first Rex, King of Carnival. Before he could begin his reign he had to borrow a crown, scepter, and costume from an actor who happened to be performing in town at the time.
