Is the Parade on Broad Street or Market Street?

The Market St experiment is OVER! We are back to Broad St. for Good.(well I hope so)Check out the map to the left.


Where and When is the Parade?

The Mummers Parade is in Philadelphia, PA, USA on New Years Day - January 1st.

The comic division will kick off the parade at 9 a.m. (subjest to change)at Broad Street and Washington Avenue, followed by the fancies at Snyder Avenue and the string bands and Fancy Brigades from Oregon Avenue. They will march up Broad Street to the judges' stands at City Hall.

Check the map for the details.


Where is the best place to view the Parade?

If you can't get a ticket to sit at the judging stand the best places are at designated drill locations. these change from year to year an the best place to find them is in the Daily News in the Mummers Parade special section a day or 2 before the parade. For reference the Map to the left is a few years old.


What time should I get there? Where do I park?

The Comic start at 9:00am, Fancies after that and the String Bands at about 11:00am. the Fancy Brigades are inside the Convention Center at 12:00noon and 5:00pm. They will also follow the String Bands and Parade on Broad Street from Oregon to Washington Ave.

There are parking garages and Parallel City (mostly meter) Parking in and around Center City. (or try these links to SEPTA or PATCO).


How do I get tickets

How come the parade is not shown on national TV?

The parade was shown nationally for a few years on the travel channel. They choose not to continue the telecasts. Maybe if enough people call or write they will start showing it again. Sorry.

Mark Mills from Deltona, Fl. is Gathering names on a web petition to get the parade on national TV. Add your name to the MUMMERS WANT-A-SEE LIST.
