- Blackberry Mummer Soy Candle -
Philadelphia's 108 year old tradition - the Mummers Parade - is in jeopardy!
After all these years, the City of Philadelphia has withdrawn support for the Parade: all prize money has been taken away and the City is now demanding payment FROM the Mummers for things like police and sanitation employees.
At a minimum, the Mummers are in the hole for $400,000! This is almost $50,000 for City services, and $355,000 for the cut in City funding, including prize money and a modest subsidy for the Mummers Museum.
Next year’s Parade is in even deeper trouble, as the City is threatening to withdraw all City services.
To Save the Mummers Parade this year, to allow the Mummers to recoup money that was taken away this year and to keep our beloved Parade alive into the future.
