DESCRIPTION:

Attracting over 100,000 people annually, the Mummers Parade is a 120-year-old+ tradition featuring 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 Mummers clubs are split into five categories:

  • Comics
  • Wench Brigades
  • Fancies
  • String Bands
  • Fancy Brigades

Each functions mainly to stage their lively performances on New Year's Day and 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 day's issues.
