Krewe of Alegria – fashionistas with a cause


The Krewe of Alegria is a group of women who love fashion, give back to the community, and are rock the Gasparilla Parade.  Alegria has been dazzling the spectators in the Gasparilla parade since 1986 when Dianne Henry and Dyann “Rocky” Valdez decided to that the boys should not be the only ones having fun.  From that day, the Krewe of Alegria was founded, making them the first all women’s Krewe in Gasparilla. 




Alegria means joy in Spanish, and these women are on a mission to enjoy life, and inspire others to do the same.  These fashionistas take pirate-attire to a new level.  Their jewel toned-costumes are all about the bling, and each lady embellishes them with sequins and crystals.  The sleeves are white and puffy reminiscent of pirate attire.  Finished with black boots and black leggings, these ladies light up the parade route. 



Alegria is not just about bling and bootie, when they are not parading down Bayshore Blvd, they give back to the community.  Algeria has their very own charity which is named Kicken’ for Kids.  Kicken’ for Kids raises money throughout the year to provide new shoes for deserving children in the Tampa Bay area.  These women know that with the right pair of shoes, you can conquer the world! 

These ladies are fashionistas with a cause!
