Revitalizing Tradition: The St. John's Mummers Parade


Well, the big Mummers Festival is over for this year, and was a tremendous success. Very special thanks to everyone who helped organize the events, and a huge round of applause for the HUNDREDS of mummers that showed up to take part in the final parade on December 20th. It was truly remarkable, and a fabulous thing to be involved with.

Now, the question that everyone is asking! Should it happen again? Take the poll below, or leave a comment with suggestions!

Well deserved Congrats. TY for organizing.
Definetly do it again.

Maybe incorporate or encourage food bank collection, Confetti guns, Hostage wheelbarrows like the German Fashing parades, candy throwing for the spectator kids.
