Make every day a holiday by strutting around in the coolest stuff in town.

Welcome to the Mummers on National TV Grassroots Campaign
While growing up in South Jersey, New Years Day was a day of celebration just as exciting as New Years Eve. The TV, on which we had the luxury of 3 channels, was tuned to the channel that had the privilege of broadcasting the Philadelphia New Years Day parade staring The Mummers. Mom would make easy foods and throughout the day we would watch for our friends and neighbors marching in the parade.

The colorful costumes and wonderful music, as well as the traditional 'strutting' are what makes the parade unique. The subtitle of STRUT! The Movie says it all, "One day a year, the working people of Philadelphia rule!"

A parade like no other, part Mardi Gras, part burlesque and all Philly, The Philadelphia New Years Day parade has been the number one event on the first of January for over a 100 years.

The parade starts at about 10:00AM, continues until early evening and is televised locally from beginning to end.

This web site has been the grassroots campaign for those who would like to see the Mummers Parade on national TV. Learn more about the campaign.
