2026 Rex Procession
“Rebirth and Renewal”
Every culture since neolithic prehistory has told stories of rebirth, renewal, and resurrection – from the great flood myths of almost all known civilizations to the narrative of Christian resurrection central to our own Carnival traditions. The 2026 Rex procession features a beautiful array of symbolically and artistically rich examples of revival stories and legends. From India to the Inuit and from deities to the day-to-day, these artistically striking examples illustrate not only cross-cultural differences, but also the universality of mankind’s hopes for renewal and focus on the eternal.
