The Krewe of Gemini officially unveiled ‘Retro Rewind’ as the theme for its 38th Mardi Gras season during a celebration Saturday night at the Krewe of Gemini Den in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Theme Announcement

Members gathered as a brightly colored banner was revealed, announcing a season inspired by the music, television, movies, and culture of the 1970s. During the event, Krewe Captain Patrick Gallagher also announced the themes for the organization’s individual floats.

The theme announcement party featured food, musical bingo, and fellowship among members as they looked ahead to the upcoming Mardi Gras season. Dana Fergins-Hawthorne, secretary of the Krewe’s board of directors, said the theme reflects Gallagher’s personality and the spirit of the organization.

Reigning Gemini Queen XXXVII Bernie Bitting said she is eager to see how the decade will be represented on the parade floats. The Krewe of Gemini has already released its 2026 Mardi Gras calendar, with the first major event of the season being the krewe’s coronation, scheduled for July 25 at Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana in Bossier City.
