As a preamble to the royal ceremony, one by one, the 21 sovereigns came into the Carnival grounds with their pages, wearing their best evening costumes, with bright colors, sequins, glitter, and spectacularly large capes.
Leilanny Aguayo, the children’s queen of Joy, was the first to be crowned. She, in turn, crowed Ian, her king. Then came Luna Camila, the children’s queen, who crowned king Emiliano Villanueva, followed by DIF’s queen Yoli who placed the crown on kind Jorge.

Emperor Kenny Villanueva was crowned by the mayor.
Mayor Juanita Alonso then crowned Jesse Rivero, Fantasy queen, who, in turn, crowned her king Anthony Vicencio; while the queen of Joy, Alessandra Erives. crowned Tony Rivero. And the moment all had been waiting for was the mayor’s crowning of Marisol Magaña, the Carnival’s queen, who placed an amazing crown on Tonio Villanueva Marrufo, the 2024 Cozumel Carnival’s king.
This ceremony, where queens, kings and emperors of yesteryear’s Carnivals attended, including Maria Ofelia Zetina Garcia, queen of a 60s Carnival, the mayor, Juanita Alonso Marrufo, handed the Key to the City to Tonio Marrufo Villanueva, this Carnival’s king who read the Royal Proclamation by which he decreed and ordered in a witty way to each of his other categories’ kings and queens to make an unforgettable party of this century and a half Carnival of Cozumel.
The event ended with a performance by Son the Cuba who had the audience dancing as well as all sovereigns who were gathered at the Carnival’s Palace.
