Cool off with a tasty treat and help at the same time!

Who’s up for a snoball? 🍧🍧 We’re prepping for the Krewe of Krampus presents Barbegazi Snoball Fight on 8/17. Dance Krewes will be competing to win the best flavor. We have a very special flavor and we can’t wait to share more with you! This event is a fun way to beat the summer☀️heat. The best part is that the purchase of every snoball sold goes directly to the Krewe of Krampus “Parading for All” initiative, supporting the goal of making parades accessible to everyone. With your help, they can continue to build on the success of their “Accessibility Row” and make sure that everyone can enjoy the magic of parades. 💜💚💛

Ladies and gentlemen, the Mande Milkshakers Class of 2025.

In a sea of polka dots, we had the great honor of being a couple of the judges for the Milkshakers Making a Mande today. I’m sure they asked us to help out because of our legendary dance skills😁. Every one of the new prospects was just amazing; great dancing, plus huge hearts who love the community. I hope they all make it!

Thank you Mandies for letting us be a part of your great celebration, we can’t wait for the announcement! ❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️

Hail Alla!

From our Captain:

Dear Members of the Krewe of ALLA,

I hope this message finds you doing well and already eagerly anticipating the 2025 Mardi Gras season! As we gear up for ALLA’s 93rd year, I am thrilled to announce a significant change to our parade schedule.

After careful consideration and in consultation with city leadership, the Board of Directors and I have decided to take advantage of a rare opportunity and move our parade from the first Friday night of Mardi Gras to Wednesday night following the Mystic Krewe of Druids.

This decision was not made lightly, but we believe it will greatly enhance the experience for both our members and the wider Mardi Gras community. By moving to Wednesday night, we aim to capture an even larger audience and ensure that our parade stands out as the kickoff event to the big Carnival weekend.

To celebrate this milestone and to express our gratitude for your continued support of our Krewe, I am excited to announce the relaunch of our Early Bird Dues program. For the next 30 days, new and current members of ALLA will have the chance to ride in our 2025 parade at the discounted rate of $425.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the Krewe of ALLA. Let's make this Mardi Gras season one to remember!

HAIL ALLA!

Adam Strickland
Captain, Krewe of ALLA

A little bit about us

Pickle and Kirk have been lifelong friends and Mardi Gras fanatics. Each year, we attend numerous parades (well into the 30’s and beyond) across the New Orleans metropolitan area. We enjoy the pageantry, beauty of the floats, costumes, and the fellowship experienced on the Parade Route amongst friends and often times, complete strangers.

Additionally, Pickle has been a podcaster for over 10 years, interviewing a variety of musicians, comedians, artists, and eclectic characters of New Orleans. So why not combine both of these interests to help spread the story of Mardi Gras and help break some of the myths of Carnival? With this project, we are working to interview members of various Mardi Gras Krewes, marching and dance groups, social and pleasure aid clubs, Mardi Gras Indians, Mardi Gras memorabilia collectors, spectators, and Mardi Gras personalities to get the stories behind Carnival and what it takes to make the World’s greatest party happen each year and how those groups stay active in the community throughout the year. We will publish our interviews in an audio podcast and Youtube video format for your enjoyment. So cut yourself a piece of king cake, put on your beads, and join us to get a dose of Mardi Gras.
