The 2027 Iris King Cake Baby is back with our shoulder baby dressed in GOLD.

*they aren’t 24K Gold and they will be thrown off of every float in our parade … but the audio was too good to pass up.

⚜️Iris is GOLDEN⚜️

All Hail Queen Edie & King Kenneth “Kee” Evans!

Their royal reveal was nothing short of spectacular, bringing elegance, excitement, and golden memories to a night no one will soon forget. From the sparkling ch*****ne toasts and spectacular confetti cannons to the incredible special guest dance routines, every moment was filled with fun, glamour, and celebration! When the band Bag of Donuts took the stage, the energy soared and the night became absolutely GOLDEN!

As the 110th year of Iris arrives and our new Queen is crowned this evening, we take a moment to celebrate all those Queens who have previously represented our Krewe. Sharing stories of their reigns and favorite rides - it is always a pleasure gathering with this special group of women.

Thank you to our most recent Queen, Queen Kimberly, and our entire 2026 Royal Court. We wish you all the best as you crown our new Royalty tonight. Hail Iris!
