NEW YEAR’S MUMMERS
PARADE BIG EVENT
The Mummer*’ Parade on New
Year's Eve Is to Philadelphia
what the Tournament of Rose* is
to Pasadena—only the Mummers
have a priority on tradition.
The earliest settler* in the vi-
cinity of present-day Philadelphia
were English and Swedes. The
English cherished the traditional
Mummer plav “St. George and
the Dragon,’ while the Swedes
were fond If masquerading la-
formally on New Year’s Eve. TTie
two customs had merged long be-
fore the Revolution and it was
customary—even among the Una-
kws -to extend hospitality to the
masqueraders or give them a dote
of refreshments.
After the Revolution, George
I iWashington replaced St George
' a« the central figure of the fes-
ti cities which continued along
the path of spontaneity until 1836
when the parade was sponsored
by the Silver Crown New Years
association.
