Welcome to Mardi Gras 2024 in New Orleans, Louisiana!
The Krewe of Cleopatra and Krewe of Alla parades were the last 2 of 3 parades this day in Uptown New Orleans which follows the St. Charles route.
The Krewe of Cleopatra is named for the Egyptian Queen of the Nile and was founded in 1972 as the first Carnival club for women on the West Bank of the Mississippi River. For 31 years Cleopatra officially opened the metro parade calendar that culminates on Fat Tuesday. As her motto proclaims, “Her Beauty is Timeless, Her Age is Now - Forever.” The Krewe of Cleopatra's 2024 parade theme is "Cleopatra's Happy Hour." There is an Egyptian title float and theme floats including Hurricane, Aperol Spritz, and Tequila Sunrise. Throws will include 21 recipe cups, lighted martini glass beads, shot glass beads, lighted ice cubes. Cleopatra has approximately 500 riders and 30 floats. Their signature barge was built 40 years ago in Spain. The parade was on February 2 following Oshun on the Uptown parade route.
The Krewe of ALLA, established in 1932, is one of the oldest krewes in Carnival. The now co-ed krewe is known for bright floats, generous throws and multiple bands and marching groups. The theme for this organization's parade is "Alla's Mythical Menagerie." Local artist Terrance Osborne will be the grand marshal. Floats will have titles like The Jinn, Pegasus, and Cerberus. Throws include magical hand-decorated genie lamps and cups with Alla-inspired artwork from Osborne himself. Membership includes approximately 500 members and 22 floats. The parade was on February 2 following Cleopatra on the Uptown route.
