Krewe de Roux 2026 Wrap
Floats, bands, gumbo, and beads... this year's Krewe de Roux was the biggest and best yet!
Thank you to all of our businesses, schools, friends and family from across Rankin County and beyond that joined the Rankin Chamber and Leadership Rankin to celebrate the festival season. From our Parade & Block Party on Friday night to our Gumbo Cook-off Festival on Saturday, we loved seeing your floats, tasting your gumbo, and joining your laughs.
A final thank you to our presenting sponsors, Citizens National Bank and Noel Daniels Motor Co., and all of our sponsors who help make this event possible. Because of your investment, we can continue investing back into our Leadership Rankin programs, as well as Rankin County businesses and students.
