A few words about us

Since 2004, when the Mummers parade made its return debut to Broad Street, Eddie and Chris Tully has been hyping up the crowd between String Band performances. Based on the crowd’s reaction that year, they realized that this could be even bigger and better.

2005 was an even more successful when they added band introductions, captain interviews, and crowd interaction that included sing alongs, an impromptu dance contest and a grand finale with hundreds of people in the street strutting to Golden Slippers.

This was also the year for the introduction of the “People’s Choice Award” that was presented to the crowd’s favorite band. It was simply judged by the loudest cheers. A new, custom, 6ft trophy has been presented every year since.

Come join the fun this year as we are doing it again – bigger and better than ever!
