🍀 QUEEN, Kelly Hartmann 🍀
Kelly Erin Hartmann is honored to serve as the 2026 Olde Towne Slidell St. Patrick’s Day Parade Queen.
A lifelong Slidell resident, Kelly is deeply rooted in the Olde Towne community and has long been dedicated to supporting the people, businesses, and traditions that make it so special. She is the owner of Petals & Stems Florist and Gift Shop, which she proudly operates alongside her mother — a family business built on love, creativity, and celebrating life’s most meaningful moments.
Kelly serves on the Olde Towne Merchants Association Board, working alongside fellow merchants to preserve Olde Towne’s charm, strengthen local commerce, and carry on cherished community traditions, including the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. She is also actively involved with the Slidell High School Quarterback Club, supporting student-athletes and community fundraising efforts.
Above all, Kelly is a devoted mother to her son Collin and daughter Carmen, who are her greatest joy and constant inspiration. Family, faith, and community guide everything she does and remain at the heart of her service.
Being named Parade Queen is a tremendous honor for Kelly — one she carries with deep gratitude, humility, and love for the city she calls home. She looks forward to celebrating this meaningful season with her family, fellow merchants, friends, and the entire Slidell community as Olde Towne comes together to celebrate faith, heritage, and Irish spirit.
