A New Year’s Day parade that stems from old European traditions but borrows heavily from black and brown culture too. Some people have described it as being like Brazilian Carnival or Mardi Gras but “Gritty-er” because it is in Philadelphia. I was expecting more coordinated dancing like Carnival but this was more like men in costumes randomly making merry. It was quite a spectacle
What’s a Mummers parade?
