Captain,
Blain Kern and the members of the Krewe of Alla wish
to extend their congratulations to the Gretna Bingo
Palace on its 10 year anniversary.
One
of the oldest krewes on the Westbank, Alla has been
here for more than 50 years. With a membership of 450
people ranging in age from teens to senior citizens,
Alla is the largest Mardi Gras organization on the Westbank.
Alla's
route begins at Our Lady of Holy Cross College in Algiers
and ends at Oakwood Shopping Center. There are usually
about 32 floats in the parade and numerous marching
teams and bands. The bands consist of local schools
as well as bands from as far away as Florida and California.
