The tradition of King Rex has helped define Mardi Gras. King Rex's Proclamation invites his subjects to the grand celebration of Carnival. His royal colors of purple, green, and gold are to this day the colors of Mardi Gras, and the song played in the first Rex parade, "If Ever I Cease to Love," has become Carnival's anthem. King Rex and his Queen have presided over the Rex Ball, Carnival's glittering conclusion since 1872.
They are selected by the people of New Orleans. I'm not really sure how, but I know they are.
Mardi Gras is always celebrated on a Tuesday. In French, "mardi" means Tuesday and "gras" means fat.
