The Rex Procession has been the highlight of Mardi Gras day since the Rex Organization was formed and first paraded in 1872. While there had been celebrations in many forms on Mardi Gras before that time, the Rex Parade gave a brilliant daytime focus to the festivities, and provided a perfect opportunity for Rex, King of Carnival, to greet his city and his subjects. The Rex Procession today is true to the long tradition of rich themes, elegant design, and floats built with traditional materials and designs. Most of Rex's floats are built on old wooden wagons with wood-spoked wheels. In recent years the theme and design of the parade have been suggested in advance of the parade with the publication of Parade Bulletins, designed to give the public a glimpse of what will roll from the Rex Den on Mardi Gras day. 2023 Rex theme: Palio di Siena Much as Carnival helps define New Orleans, the centuries-old traditions of the Palio help define the ancient Tuscan city of Siena, Italy. The Corsa del Palio, the Race of the Banner, is an ancient Italian horse racing tradition tracing its roots to the Republic of Sienas golden age in the 13th century. Annually, two horse races one in July and one in August occur in the Piazza del Campo, the citys main square, which is transformed into a dirt-packed track covering a third of a mile.
