Mummers Museum

We do not and have not enjoyed being the bearer of bad news but here we go again It is with great sadness that we announce that Mummers Weekend in North Wil...dwood, originally scheduled for June 2020 and rescheduled to September 11 & 12, 2020, has been cancelled by mutual decision of the City of North Wildwood and the Philadelphia Mummers Association. This was not an easy decision by any means but the many possibilities on how to make it work have been exhausted. (No Covid-19 explanation necessary ). We are all very anxious about and looking forward to all of our events in the Wildwoods in 2021. See more

Thank you PHL17! ICYMI: the Fancy Brigade Association delivered over $5000 worth of school materials to the following locations: Furness High School, Sharswood Elementary School and St. John's Neumann-Maria Goretti High School.

The Philadelphia String Band Association is aware that during this COVID-19 pandemic that many great events have been forced to reschedule or cancel. This eveni...ng the Philadelphia String Band Association has decided to continue their preparations for the annual Mummers Parade on Friday, January 1st, 2021 in the event that the City of Philadelphia and Health Department deem that it is safe for large special events to take place this winter. The Philadelphia String Band Association has decided to forego competitive judging for our division and to use our portion of the parade as a tribute to our COVID-19 heroes. We will collaborate with the City of Philadelphia to turn the String Band division of the parade into a heroes parade honoring all of the essential workers that are assisting those affected by this current crisis. We will honor the following heroes: staff from the local hospitals, transportation workers, police, fire, and paramedic members and all other life sustaining essential workers that have kept us safe and strong during these difficult times. We have decided to suspend the competitive judging of the 2021 parade due to the financial strain that COVID-19 has put on our organizations and its personal effects on our members. We will continue all aspects of our traditional New Year’s Day parade that you have come to know and love for the past 120 years. We will continue to follow the current crisis closely while assessing and discussing the 2021 parade regularly. During these unprecedented times, the Philadelphia String Band Association is hoping that everyone continues to stay healthy and safe.

The Mummers Museum wishes everyone a happy Memorial Day. To all of our veterans and those we honor today, thank you. We miss all of our visitors and friends. Hope to see everyone soon. Stay safe and well.
