In Philly, the New Year\u2019s party doesn\u2019t stop after the clock strikes midnight on New Year\u2019s Eve.\u00a0In fact, some would say it doesn\u2019t even get started until 9 a.m. on New Year\u2019s Day, when 10,000 colorfully costumed\u00a0Mummers\u00a0line up to strut, sashay and pirouette their way down Broad Street.<\/p>\n

Mummers are men and women of all ages who belong to more than 40 organized clubs that make up the parade participants. The clubs are split into five categories \u2014 Comics, Wench Brigades, Fancies, String Bands and Fancy Brigades \u2014 that function mainly to stage playful performances on New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

The parade\u00a0begins at 9 a.m<\/strong>.\u00a0and continues into the evening, ending approximately at\u00a06 p.m<\/strong>.\u00a0City Hall marks the starting point,\u00a0with\u00a0a judging station situated\u00a0at 15th and Market streets.<\/p>\n
