The Mummers Parade features music, dance, comedy, and mime, along with dazzling costumes and floats. Although the lavish event is now televised to a wide audience, it is still rooted in the same neighborhoods where it began. This book explores the community created and annually reaffirmed by the Philadelphia Mummers. 606 $aParades$zPennsylvania$zPhiladelphia$xHistory 606 $aNew Year$zPennsylvania$zPhiladelphia$xHistory 607 $aPhiladelphia (Pa.)$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aParades$xHistory. 615 0$aNew Year$xHistory. 676 $a394/.50974811 700 $aMasters$b Patricia Anne$f1945-$01749950 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828516203321 996 $aThe Philadelphia Mummers$94184413 997 $aUNINA
