It's New Year's Day in Philadelphia and that means it's time for the 2019 Mummers Parade.
The mummers began strutting down South Broad Street a few hours ago. If you weren't able to make it street-side Tuesday morning and afternoon, here are some images from Bastiaan Slabbers and Brian Hickey showing the pageantry.
