The Krewe of Mona Lisa & MoonPie has announced that the group’s 2027 parade on Jan. 30 will be led by Queen Connie Born and King Tom Collins, and applications are being accepted for riders to march with them.<\/p>\n
This krewe promotes the arts, Olde Towne Slidell and all around good humor. Featuring flambeaux and marching brass bands in the spirit of tradition, their grocery cart floats and creative spirits will roll will through Olde Towne at 7 p.m. that Saturday.<\/p>\n
Born is the artist behind Mischief Mardi Gras Art Dolls and owner of Slidell\u2019s Art Gallery, Mischief Creations. Her fanciful krewe will depict her Queen of Hearts theme, which will include interpretations from Alice in Wonderland\u2019s famous fictional dream.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Collins, better known as Cap\u2019n Tom, has organized this creative parade for decades and is now ready to lead the next one as \u201cKing Cake.\u201d His imaginative krewe will represent a beloved Louisiana tradition which takes the spotlight during Carnival season and will include a King\u2019s Court full of spoofs about royals, nobles, knights, jesters, dancers, and entertainers!<\/p>\n
The royals invite new and seasoned members to join them or form their own mini-krewe with costumes appropriate to the ’27 parade’s theme of \u201cMegastars and Miscreants.\u201d To do that, simply reserve any hero or villain you wish to interpret or ask to join an existing mini-krewe on the website.<\/p>\n

As a bit of lagniappe, the krewe is offering an early bird membership fee that will expire Aug. 1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.nola.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Krewe of Mona Lisa & MoonPie has announced that the group’s 2027 parade on Jan. 30 will be led by Queen Connie Born and King Tom Collins, and applications are being accepted for riders to march with them.
