“Sunday on the Point” to Bring Game Day Energy, Local Flavor, and Riverfront
Views to Algiers Point!

New Orleans, LA — This September, the West Bank will take center stage when the Krewe of
ALLA, in partnership with the Algiers Economic Development Foundation (AEDF), presents
“Sunday on the Point,” a vibrant new riverfront experience celebrating community, culture, and
football.

Founded in Algiers, the Krewe of ALLA—an acronym for “ALgiers, LouisianA,” has deep roots
on the West Bank and is best known for hosting the Krewe of ALLA parade, the headliner
parade in New Orleans on the Wednesday preceding Mardi Gras. With “Sunday on the Point,”
the organization returns to its origins to create a signature community event along the Mississippi
River.

Scheduled for Sunday, September 13, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and aligned with an
away game by the New Orleans Saints, this inaugural event will take place in historic Algiers
Point, adjacent to the Algiers Ferry Terminal.

Attendees can expect a festive, family-friendly atmosphere featuring a large outdoor screen
broadcasting the Saints game, along with a curated marketplace of local vendors showcasing
small businesses offering food, beverages, and arts and crafts. With sweeping views of the
Mississippi River and the French Quarter skyline, “Sunday on the Point” offers a uniquely New
Orleans setting for game day.

“We are excited to create an experience that celebrates both our local entrepreneurs and our
deep-rooted love of football,” said Dr. Stanton McNeely, President of the Krewe of ALLA.
“Sunday on the Point is about bringing people together, on the West Bank and from across the
river, to enjoy the energy of the Saints, the beauty of Algiers Point, and the creativity of our
small business community. As an organization founded in Algiers, ALLA is especially proud to
return to our roots and invest in the community that shaped us.”

LaVerne Toombs, Executive Director of the AEDF, highlighted the event’s broader impact:
“This is more than a watch party; it’s an opportunity to showcase Algiers Point as a destination.
We are proud to support an initiative that uplifts local businesses, drives economic activity, and
invites locals and tourists alike to experience the charm and potential of this historic
neighborhood.”

Conveniently accessible by ferry, car, or bike, “Sunday on the Point” welcomes attendees from
both sides of the Mississippi River.
