About the Mummers Parade in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Festivals & Fairs , United States
Ends: Jan 01, 2020
DESCRIPTION:
Attracting over 100,000 people each year this 120-year-old+ tradition features over 10,000 men, women and children dressed in ostentatious costumes twirling, sashaying, pirouetting and strutting down the city’s main streets.
Mummers are men and women of all ages who belong to more than 40 organized clubs that make up the parade participants.
The clubs, split into five categories — Comics, Wench Brigades, Fancies, String Bands and the Fancy Brigades — function mainly to stage their playful performances on New Year’s Day and at other events throughout the year. Mummery is a Philadelphia tradition spanning generations and originated in ancient Rome. Then laborers celebrated Saturnalia by marching in masks, exchanging gifts and making light of the issues of the day.
