MUMMERS PARADE 2020: LIVE STREAM PHILADELPHIA'S NEW YEAR'S TRADITION
While some will likely spend Wednesday recovering from their New Year's Eve celebrations, many in Philadelphia will watch the Mummers Parade, a tradition unique to the City of Brotherly Love.
As mummery in the United States is largely unknown outside of the Philadelphia area, the first question some people might ask is What is a mummer? Honoring a tradition whose roots trace back to America in the 1600s, mummers dress up in fanciful costumes and celebrate the New Year with an annual parade on January 1.
More than 10,000 men, women and children participate in the nearly 120-year-old celebration, according to the city's Independence Visitor Center. The parade begins at 9 a.m. EST at City Hall and continues south on Broad Street until it hits Washington Avenue. It's expected to conclude at 5 p.m.
Thousands of people line the streets to watch the procession, and those who can't be there in person can stream the parade live from the comfort of their home. People in the Philadelphia area can watch the parade on TV by tuning in to WPHL. The outlet also has a live stream set up on its website.
There are five divisions of mummers in the parade. Comics try to make people laugh with slapstick or sarcastic comedy, while those in the Wench Brigade Division don the traditional attire of a dress, hat or scarf, bloomers and a parasol.
Fancies are judged on their ornate costuming, and Fancy Brigades put on Broadway-like performances. String Bands also put on a show with saxophones, banjos and percussion dominating the band, according to the Mummers Museum.

The Franklin Court Printing office
Benjamin Franklin, the Printer
Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
In October, 1723 Philadelphia was one of the largest cities in the American colonies. Upon his arrival, Ben continued to work as a printer and made many friends in the trade. One of his friends, Sir William Keith, governor of Pennsylvania, convinced him to move to London to buy printing equipment. In London, he would then be able to purchase the equipment needed to begin his own business. Within a year, at the age of eighteen, Franklin had arrived in London and was ready to begin work at Palmer's and Watt's, two of the most prestigous printing firms in the city.
In October, 1726 Ben returned to Philadelphia . He continued his trade as a printer, first working with a partner then, at the age of twenty-four, taking the business over on his own.
In 1729, Franklin bought the Pennsylvania Gazette an ailing paper known to be dull and poorly managed. Known for his hard work and determination, Ben used his wit and intelligence to turn the gazette into an informative and entertaining paper. Ben's philosophy for success, work harder than your competition, drove the success of the paper as it gained recognition throughout the colonies.
In 1730, Ben entered into a commonlaw marriage with his longtime friend Deborah Read Rogers, whose husband John had left her in 1725.
Publications Franklin was an innovator in the publishing business. He was the first to publish cartoons and maps to accompany and illustrate his articles. He printed his political theories to gain public support. In 1733, Franklin began publishing Poor Richard's Almanac under the name Richard Saunders. The almanac became more popular than any of his newspaper ventures. The almanac, which was published yearly through 1758, had Franklin's sayings scattered throughout. His witty and wise sayings preach frugality, industry, and thrift. God helps them that help themselves, He's a fool that makes his doctor his heir, and He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals are just a few.
Philly Shuts Down For Eagles Parade
(8 Feb 2018) The championship Philadelphia Eagles ended their raucous, emotional rally by giving props to their fans.
Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles thanked the roaring crowds from the Rocky steps at the art museum Thursday, and Jason Kelce gave a rousing lecture on the meaning of the word underdog for Philadelphia.
It was a passionate defense of the coach and general manager and went through all the criticism they have faced over the years.
Bottom line is we wanted it more. All the players, all the coaches, the front office - Jeffery Lurie, everybody wanted it more and that is why we are up here today and that's why we are the first team in Eagles history to hold that freaking trophy, said Jason Kelce, Eagles Offensive Lineman.
The longest tenured Eagle tight end Brent Celek told the crowd he loved them.
Hey Philly, I love you, Celek screamed into the microphone. Philly I just know when I was drafted here in 2007 there was one thing that all the fans said that they wanted and that was a world championship and today celebrate fact that has a world championship.
Eagles Head Coach, Doug Peterson told the crowd to get used the feeling of being champions.
We have more to go, more to prove, this is our new norm, said Peterson.
