Monday Morning Smile

One of the floats from the 'tit Rex parade, New Orleans Mardi Gras 2019

About 'tit Rex: 

Founded in 2009, we are a krewe dedicated to all things small.
Each year we put on a Mardi Gras parade consisting of around 28 shoebox floats. The floats are pulled by their artist handlers, and up to two additional ‘riders’ may accompany to hand out ‘throws’. Much like a large scale parade we have royalty (a king and a queen) with the difference being that royalty are represented by inanimate objects and are not actual people. We also have a different theme each year. Floats are constructed with the theme in mind. 'tit Rəx incorporates four brass bands in their parade so there is always a lot of dancing and revelry. Members also construct all throws which are small scale and very unique. At the end of the parade we host Gallier Small and the Ping Pong Ball. You can learn about the floats at our viewing stage (Gallier Small) and dance into the night at the ball.
