History of the Mummers Parade
For over 120 years, Philadelphia has rang in the new year with a festive celebration, The Mummers Parade. More than 10,000 men, women, and children in lavish, glittering costumes do the "Mummers Strut" down Broad Street, stopping to perform at three performance areas along the way as part of a fierce competition.

The Mummers are comprised of 40+ organized clubs, categorized into five divisions that each have their own performance specialty, and compete against each other for bragging rights, the Comics, Wench Brigades, Fancies, String Bands, and Fancy Brigades.

Philadelphia's Historic District

Philadelphia's "Original City" brings together the old and the new.

The city's first borders spanned from the Delaware River to 7th Street, and from Vine Street to Lombard Street.

Today, this area encompasses parts of Independence National Historical Park, the Delaware River Waterfront, and Old City, and is known collectively as the Historic District.

Comprised of equal parts colonial sites and technology start-ups, the Historic District is home to a diverse blend of enterprises. Eclectic art galleries, boutique hotels, and outdoor restaurants abound along the cobblestone streets. 

Enjoy a leisurely stroll--or rent an Indego bike share--through history!
