Ring in the New Year with the Mummer's Day Show of
Shows,
a New Year's Day tradition since the 17th century!
HIGHLIGHTS:
-
Ring in the New
Year with the famous "Mummer's Day Show of Shows" - one of our
country's longest running traditions. Mummery in Philadelphia is as
unique as Mardi Gras is to
New Orleans!
-
Experience the
300+ year tradition as you witness the Fancy Mummer's Brigades take
to the stage inside the Philadelphia Convention Center with
elaborate skits and lavish costumes
-
Prior to the
performance, you'll have the opportunity to meet some of the
Mummer's on the show floor and join in the merrymaking
-
Following the
show, you'll enjoy a special New Year's dinner inside the Moshulu,
the world's oldest and largest four-masted tall ship, now a AAA
4-Diamond restaurant
Here we stand before your door, As we
stood the year before;
Give us whiskey; give us gin, Open the door and let us in.
Or give us something nice and hot, like a steaming bowl of pepper pot!
- 19th Century Mummer's Day Chant |
