The Gretna Carnival Club (Krewe of Grela) was established in 1947 first drawn by horse drawn carriages through the streets of the city, considered the signature parade of Gretna. The City Council pleaded asked the Krewe in 1985 to move from Saturday to showcase on Mardi Gras day, Fat Tuesday.

With no trepidations we made the move and never looked back, making Grela the quintessential parade of Gretna, special thanks go to B.H. Miller who has truly been the guardian angel of this carnival club.

Bingo has been very beneficial to the Grela parade. Grela has been a pioneer in bingo, creating a lot of extra games within the contest of the usual structure of the game, giving away prizes galore with such games as Making Groceries Monday, Bingo Plinko, Hula Hoop, Second Line and of course Back It Up 1 & 2 and too much more to mention! We like to thank you, the customer, for letting us serve you in your bingo endeavors. We hope you continue to support us in our bingo and lets look forward to the future for more fun and excitement than we've ever had.

Thank You,
Tim Perrin
Parade Captain
