Irish history of the Mummers Parade in Philadelphia - the oldest continuous folk parade in the US

Mummery has strong working-class roots and symbolism and the Irish in Philadelphia have contributed to that

The fancy brigade tv production is great, but the tough part of broadcasting the fancy brigades live at 5pm instead of 8pm like in the past is that you get 20 mins of filler in between the performances. Two brigades in an hour is tough to watch.

01/01/2023

The Fancy Brigade Finale will be on at 5pm on 6ABC online.

5) Avalon

We’ll see who wins around 7pm.

Since the broadcast didn’t mention the “Custards Last Stand” award for most clever/punny string band theme title. Let’s vote on who had the best theme. .

Durning-Greek Balls Of Fire

Uptown - Safari So Good

Duffy- Friends In Low Maizes

Ferko-Freeze The Day!

Other….make your case in the comment section.

It looks like they lost power in the tv truck and have stopped the parade. Durning is in position and waiting to perform until they can get the web stream back.
