Philadelphia Mummers

Hail, Hail, the gang's all here..

About Me

What's a Mummer? They're like glittery human party favors -- banjo-strumming, sax-honking, glockenspiel-tinkling -- who parade through the streets of Philadelphia every New Year's Day. That day it doesn't matter how cold or miserable the weather is -- the Mummers are out in force, 15,000 of them, strutting with abandon. Off-season, the accomplished cream-of-the-crop tour the region as the Mummer String Bands. But the rawest talent flows each New Year's parade in a 2 1/2 mile long stream of novel costumes, musical acts and comic concepts. A mummer is someone who belongs to one of the Philadelphia New Years clubs. These clubs compete in the annual Philadelphia Mummers Parade. The parade is held on New Years Day, weather permitting.
