Mummers String Bands To Play At Lincoln Financial Field
On January 1 of this year, the Mummers Parade marched down Broad Street. The crowd favorite String Bands did not perform with their full props and routines due to high winds, that caused damage early in the morning when the props were being set up. Instead, they strolled down Broad Street, playing their instruments and the performance was lackluster. They were not judged.
Now that show has been rescheduled for January 31,of this year, scheduled for 2:00 PM. Tickets are required and are available through Ticketmaster.
This is going to be different that a march on Broad Street. Fans will undergo security screening. Purses must be no larger than 4×6 to enter the stadium. Large signs and banners are not allowed either. Noisemakers are also taboo.
These performances will be judged and each string band has a lot riding on the show. Many details are being worked out like options for rescheduling in the event of bad weather. For transportation, SEPTA is your best bet.
