Congressman Carter Honored as Grand Marshal of Alla Parade

NEW ORLEANS, L.A. – Tonight, Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-La.) will be named Grand Marshal for the Krewe of Alla.

The Krewe of ALLA is one of the oldest and most storied krewes in Carnival. Established in 1932 during the depths of the Great Depression in Algiers, La., ALLA will celebrate its 91st anniversary in 2023. The krewe, now co-ed, has called the Uptown New Orleans parade route home since 2014 and is known for bright floats, generous throws, and multiple bands and marching groups.

“I am honored to be named Grand Marshal for the Krewe of Alla. Mardi Gras is an exciting time in New Orleans and I want to personally thank my friends at Alla for bestowing this upon me. I am truthfully humbled. Laissez les bons temps rouler!” said Rep. Carter.
