Ancient Druids and Alla

Originally organized in 1921, this is a relatively small krewe of 200 members. It will offer a traditional-style parade reminiscent of the night procession of the past. The parade theme is not divulged until parade time. The identity of the Arch Druid – the king - is also never made public. Dressed in priest-like robes, the club parades with 16 floats, some from the original Druids parades of nearly 90 years ago.

The Krewe of ALLA was formed November 1932, and was originally sponsored by the West Side Carnival and Social Club, Inc. In 1978 the Krewe reorganized as the Golden Gryphon Society, Inc. The name ALLA is taken from ALgiers, LA, where the organization was originally formed.

Originally an all-male Krewe, Alla became co-ed in 2014. The Krewe of Alla celebrated their 90th anniversary with 2022's parade.
