Mummers fans are loyal. They line the streets on New Year’s Day every year, starting early in the morning, to see the colorful costumes, familiar dance moves, and hear all of the upbeat tunes.<\/p>\n

It’s an all-day event. The parade starts at 9 AM at City Hall,<\/a> travels down Broad Street, ending at 5 PM.<\/p>\n

There are 10,000 Mummers<\/p>\n

Ten thousand Mummers (five divisions, thirty-five brigades) take to the streets.<\/p>\n
