The Krewe of Alla, carnival's fourth oldest parading group, was founded by the Westside Social and Carnival Club, and presented its inaugural parade with a single float on Fat Tuesday, 1933. The 500 member, all male krewe takes its name from an abbreviation of Algiers, Louisiana - the New Orleans West Bank community through which it travels. Alla staged 10 river parades and nearly 30 tableau balls at the Municipal Auditorium before reorganizing under the auspices of the Golden Gryphon Society in 1978. Alla's king and queen are called the Maharajah and the Maharanee. Alla tradionally presents the largest parade on the West Bank. The krewe's past themes, Maharajahs, and Maharanees are listed below.
