Welcome to the Mummers on National TV Grassroots Campaign
While growing up in Jersey, New Years Day was a day of celebration just as exciting as New Years Eve. The TV, on which we had the luxury of 3 channels, was tuned to the channel that had the privilege of broadcasting the Philadelphia New Years Day parade staring The Mummers. Mom would make easy foods and throughout the day we would watch for our friends and neighbors marching in the parade.

The colorful costumes and wonderful music, as well as the traditional 'strutting' are what makes the parade unique. The subtitle of STRUT! The Movie says it all, "One day a year, the working people of Philadelphia rule!"

A parade like no other. Part Marti Gras, part burlesque and all Philly, The Philadelphia New Years Day parade has been the number one event on the first of January for over a 100 years.

The parade starts at about 9:00AM. It continues until early evening and is televised locally from beginning to end.

This web site is a grassroots campaign for those who would like to see the Mummers Parade on national TV. Learn more about the campaign....(Read about the campaign)

Notice 01.03.07

Due to increased traffic with many great ideas and suggestions, to our Mummers On National TV mailing list, we have created an open discussion mailing list for sharing ideas such as webcasting the Mummers Parade and other means of assuring future national TV coverage. This list is separate from the Want-A-See list which is for comments the media will read.

In sharing our ideas, someone just might know someone with the expertise and means of which we are not able to accomplish within this grassroots campaign.

We look forward to your input. Click here to join
