Mummers? It’s Philly thing… The Quaker City Boys were an offshoot/part of the larger, traditional Quaker City String Band, a long-standing and highly successful participant in Philadelphia’s Mummers Parade…
leaning into local street-party energy. #MummersParade #QuakerCityStringBand #OneHitWondered
special thanks to the mummers for doing their thing every year on New Year’s Day!

Starting the New Year off right: watching the Mummers Parade on tv from a warm living room with a mug of hot chocolate!

1/1/25 : me and dad encountered the most unapologetic woman on the trolley, who had found a Walkman Cassette player on the street. we were talking about it and she says, "yeah this reminds me of one I had in prison".

How is it that I have never heard of the #mummersparade ? I watched from roughly 9am -7pm. I love every aspect of the parade and that fantastic #philly community.
WFMZ has the String Bands and highlights from today's Mummer's Parade. www.wfmz.com/mummers/ #NewYear2025 #Philadelphia #MummersParade
I was dumbfounded... he probably doesn't know what that word means, either. 🤣🤣🤣

Why don't the String Band captains wear big feather back pieces anymore? Come to think of it I haven't seen many on the band members themselves with...I miss the feathers. #Philly #MummersParade
"Best of the Mummers" string Band album cover featuring a performer in white feathers with red and black sequins. The design reminiscent of a playing card, such as a Jack or King.
1976 "Best of the Mummers" string Band album cover featuring a bicentennial theme. Philadelphia's Independence Hall is seen in the background. A atring band in colonial costumes is seen in the front.
If you're from the Philadelphia area you might have grown up with one or two of these "String Band Show of Shows" LPs in your house.
We had one. One is all you need because once you hear one you've pretty much heard them all..😁

Screenshot of the Philadelphia Mummers Parade, featuring men in satin dresses and golden shoes. One waves the American flag. The Mummers Parade is a Philadelphia New Year's Day tradition lasting over a hundred years. It is not associated with any LGBTQ organization or cause. It is decidedly heterosexual.
Is #Philadelphia's famous #drag parade not being broadcast on network TV this year?
Apparently, the broadcast has been banished to #MeTV. I guess all those men in dresses, feathers, wigs, and makeup is too much for impressionable children. 😅

Can someone explain why the hell Froggy Carr is flying a Russian flag in the Mummers Parade right now?? These cucks are ready to give Putin Alaska while they twirl around in sequins and parasols #mummers #mummersparade #Philadelphia
Watching the Twilight Zone marathon on SyFy. Next episode is the one where aliens go to the Philadelphia Art Museum in search of intelligent life only to find the Mummers and return back to their planet.

Demolition Brass Band with the #Beyonce “Crazy in Love” for the #Mummers Parade. #Philly #MummersParade
Happy New Year!
I’m assuming they couldn’t find any Mummers String Band music they could license for the ad.

THIS and, if I may also suggest... do it modestly, i.e. don't wear your happiness like it's a freakin Mummer's costume. #IYKYK #kindness #holidays #mummers #mummersparade
Out-of-town viewers, ya gotta think of the #MummersParade as a play in 3 Acts: the Wenches are a historical reenactment of its Past, the String Bands are the Present of Mummery, & the Fancy Brigades are concepts of its Future...
You can talk unruly drunks & unfunny wench brigades, but what other US city has a 122 yr tradition of holding a 12 HOUR LONG amateur parade? #MummersParade
