The King of Carnival continues to live up to his name and lead the way, preserving the history of the celebration he helped create, while adding special new touches. It’s a mix of newly minted art, in the form of beautiful, original floats designed by Henri Schindler and Kern Studios, complemented by the icons (the Boeuf Gras, King’s float, Jesters, Royal Bandwagon, mounted captain and lieutenants). The must-see on Mardi Gras, for many reasons.
