The 2013 edition of the miniature Mardi Gras parade formerly known as ‘tit Rex, featuring tiny floats towed through the streets by their makers like Chihuahuas on leashes, was a brilliant little affair. This year’s theme was The Bare Minimum, yet the toy float builders seemed to maximize their artistic and satiric skills better than ever.
This year one of our floats will be streaming its float's-eye view of the parade to itself and from itself! Hopefully no technical problems! If you can't make the parade, watch it here.
My number one, not-to-miss 2013 Carnival occurrence will take place Saturday (Jan. 26) in the Bywater and Marigny neighborhoods, as two of the Crescent City’s premier post-Katrina do-it-yourself parades, the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus and the mini-marching parade formerly known as ‘tit Rex (a shortened form of Petit Rex, inspired by the venerable Rex parade and pronounced like the dinosaur), will roll through the narrow streets.
Official 2013 Poster and Route Map – Don’t miss us rolling through the Bywater/Marigny on Saturday January 26th, 5pm beginning at St Roch Tavern!
We would like to thank Ryan Hodgson-Rigsbee for sharing many of his fine images of our parade with us for this website!
