Mummers Parade In Philly
I went to the Mummers website,and it appears that they have their
parade on New Years Day, but I am thinking that they also have a parade on Thanksgiving. Does anyone know if they have a parade on Thanksgiving? I would have to travel around three hundred miles to Philly for the parade. Would such a trip be worthwhile? I have been to Philly a number of times. Thanks Topm |

Philadelphia does have a parade on Thanksgiving that a few of the Mummers groups may participate in, but it is not a Mummer's Parade (if that makes sense). If you are going to travel 300 hundred miles to see Mummers, come see them on New Years Day (as long as it doesn't rain and the parade is postponed). wrote in message ...

Thanks Topm The Thanksgiving Parade is aimed mainly at kids -- very similar to the Macy's parade in New York -- with floats, balloons and the entry to Santa Claus. The Mummer's Parade is a New Year's Day tradition, featuring string bands, "fancy" divisions and "comic" brigades. It's a totally amateur parade -- all costumes and routines are developed and performed by everyday people who have formed clubs to march in the parade. There are no corporate floats, etc., such as the Rose Bowl Parade. Sometimes, around the Fourth of July, there is an abbreviated "Mummers in Summer" parade down the Parkway, although this may now be a thing of the past. You'd have to check. And, finally, there is the Mummer's Museum on Washington Avenue in Philly which is actually a pretty neat little museum. |
