Rex reigns over the streets of New Orleans today.

As is tradition, Rex has declared that school and work cease for the day, so the people can play:


"I'm just going to take over the city and make sure everybody has one hell of a time for Mardi Gras," the monarch said shortly before receiving the key to the city from Mayor Helena Moreno.

Rex's theme this year strikes a hopeful tone.
