After a long delay due to the pandemic, Carnival Memphis held its postponed events from 2020 during a grand and festive Winter Carnival Celebration. King Ray Gill, Queen Carter Stovall, President Hugh Mallory and their families celebrated with the 2020 and 2021 Royal Courts, Pages, Scarabs, and Grand Krewe members.

With re-imagined events, the “Party with a Purpose” was still able to spread cheer throughout the community and proudly announced a record fundraising total for the Carnival Children’s Charities: Chickasaw BSA Scouting Deserts, RedZone Ministries and Thrive Memphis. Due to the great success of Krewes for Kids in November and support of fantastic sponsors, over $415,000 with matching funds was raised for these three worthy organizations.

Carnival looks forward to celebrating its 91st year and raising funds at Krewes for Kids on April 22, 2022. carnivalmemphis.org
