New Year's Day-Mummer Parade

We haven't been to the Mummer's Parade in a few years and it is looking like it will be kind of warm (40ish)...hoping I can talk my husband into going down to see it again!

The Philadelphia Mummers Parade features unique costumes, music, and pageantry. Crowds line Broad St., from South Philly straight through Center City. The climax of the parade takes place at City Hall and the PA Convention Center where the official judging takes place.
The parade itself is one of the longest running traditions in the country. The parade began in 1900 as an official event for the city, however the parade has been going on since the 1800's as a way to celebrate the New Year.

Check out the Philly Mummers for more info.
