Mummers

The last bit of preparations are being finalized ahead the 125th Mummer’s Parade on New Year’s Day in Philadelphia.

The 124th annual Mummers Parade has yet another milestone to celebrate this year - being named the most “festive and fun" holiday parade by USA Today.

The countdown is on to 2023 and folks are getting ready to ring in the new year in style.

The parade starts at Philadelphia’s City Hall and Mummers march south to Washington Avenue, in South Philadelphia, strutting down Broad Street. They begin their colorful promenade at 9 a.m.

Philadelphia has issued a number of road closures for the return of the annual New Year's Day Mummers Parade. The city also shared health guidelines required for spectators along the parade route. 

The Mummers Parade will be returning to Broad Street in 2022, after a year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

New Year's Day in Philadelphia went on without a Mummers parade due to the ongoing pandemic, but that did not stop some from strutting down the street in South Philadelphia in the form of a constitutionally protected protest. 

The Mummers' strut has been stopped in its tracks.

The Mummers string band promoted its upcoming Mardi Gras event Thursday and they addressed the recent controversy.

The future of the Mummers Parade is in jeopardy if the leadership doesn't make immediate changes, Mayor Kenney wrote in a letter.

The fallout continues after a couple of men are accused of marching down Broad Street in blackface during the annual Mummers Parade. FOX 29's Jeff Cole has more.

Two men accused of wearing blackface during the Mummers Parade have been banned.

The South Philadelphia String Band took first place at the 2020 Mummers Parade a year after tragedy struck.

All the road closures and parking restrictions you need to know ahead of the 2020 Mummers Parade.

Mummers strutted their stuff in the 6th annual Mummers Mardi Gras celebration and they strutted in a new location Saturday.
