Mummery Central is upon us!

Jacky BamBam and his longtime girlfriend Brittany Rotondo are competitors, for the second year in a row, and preparing to go toe to toe (Or plume to plume) in the 2025 Mummers Parade in Philadelphia! Last year the BamBam household placed respective first and second places within Golden Sunrise's Handsome Costume Division, with BamBam placing 1st and Brittany placing 2nd! This year they're even more excited to showcase their themes and turn up the heat on their epic duel! (Remember, they're not the only one presenting in the Handsome Costume Division!) Who's going to get first prize?

Of course we root for everyone to win! Mummery is all about the magic!

Stay tuned on our local pages and follow along Jacky and Brittany's Mummers rivalry on all of social media... And be sure to watch on live on air New Year's Day between 9-9:30 AM for their 2025 routines, themes and the rest of the Parade!

Philadelphia's iconic Mummers Parade has a way of bringing out the creative and competitive spirit in participants, and for one couple, it becomes a lighthearted rivalry that sparks joy and fun. Imagine two partners, each passionate about their Mummers division—one devoted to the glitzy Fancies, crafting intricate costumes with dazzling sequins and feathers, while the other is committed to the String Bands, perfecting their banjo skills and musical performance.

As the parade approaches, the couple playfully tries to one-up each other with their preparations. The Fancy enthusiast adds more sparkle and flair to their outfit, teasing their partner about stealing the spotlight, while the String Band musician counters with an impressive melody guaranteed to wow the crowd. Their friendly banter fills their home, turning long nights of parade rehearsals into moments of laughter and bonding.

When New Year's Day arrives, they cheer each other on while secretly hoping to outperform the other. But as they march down Broad Street, they realize the true winner is their shared love for the Mummers Parade and the vibrant community it represents. The competition may be playful, but the experience brings them closer, celebrating creativity, tradition, and togetherness in the City of Brotherly Love.

All is fair in love and Mummery!
