Mummers Parade's Rise From Local Christmas Festivities
The Mummers parade began in Philadelphia in the 1860s as families masqueraded and celebrated through the streets. The Silver Crown club joined in 1877 along with Golden Crown and Morning Star. Prizes offered by local businessmen and city officials eventually turned the event into a city function with a Broad Street parade and prize money. The first formal parade occurred on January 1, 1901.
