It’s Lupus Awareness Month. 💜 We were honored to make a special visit to the Lupus Clinic at Manning Family Children's to help bring awareness and support to the incredible work they are doing. It was a treat to meet a few patients and gift their Clinic our Iris pill dispensers. We were also able to tour Walker’s Imaginarium and see the amazing progress happening on that project. We are so grateful to have Manning Family Children’s in our community.

We had the best time decorating sunglasses at Audubon Zoo Kids Zoo To Do 2026! Thank you to our creative Iris volunteers and everyone who joined in the fun. Creating is such a huge part of our Mardi Gras and New Orleans community and it’s a special gift to be able to share that with the next generations.

Artists over AI always. Every Iris float, signature or themed, is designed and executed by local New Orlean’s artists. Float designs by the insanely talented Manuel Ponce.
