This is what Mummery is all about. Last night the Mummers community came together to celebrate the Palandro, Ferry and Wiseley families. Here is a band made up of multiple String Bands that played last night outside of SP’s clubhouse. The love of family & friends is powerful. ❤️

Please enjoy their winning performance, “Christmas Bizarre." (Full performance on Facebook)
Congratulations to Quaker City String Band, first place winner of the 2023 Mummers Parade!

We will all miss you, Joe Ferry. Thank you for bringing your smile, passion, creativity and musical talents to Mummery. Til we meet again. ❤️ (Photo: John Wernega)
"We'll meet again. Don't know where. Don't know when. But I know we'll meet again some sunny day."
This is what Mummery is all about. We are thinking of the Ferry, Palandro & Wiseley families. Music is always our favorite way to celebrate the memories of loved ones we have lost.
We take a look back at some of the great memories with Bob Shannon Jr. A great Mummer, leader, husband and a friend to all. You will be missed tremendously. RIP, Big Bob. ❤️
