SuperFriends NYC Trip to Philly for the Mummers Parade

Fernando Camino, correspondent from New York City and moderator of the SuperFriends NYC livestreams on YouTube, has represented the San Francisco Bay Times at many special events including his visit to the Bay Area for the San Francisco Pride Parade and Festival.

Most recently, Camino traveled to Philadelphia to attend the legendary New Year’s Day Mummers Parade 2026.

Camino reported: “I returned for the second time to cover this iconic event and was thrilled to experience it again. It truly is one of a kind! There’s nothing else like it—the flamboyant, elaborate, and colorful costumes, the incredible energy of the performers, and the unmatched Philly spirit that fills the streets.

I especially love the Wench Division, wildly chaotic and playful, with performers toting umbrellas, sporting exaggerated makeup, and radiating pure fun—the perfect embodiment of the parade’s spirited charm. This year was extra special, marking the 125th edition of the parade, and the creativity, live music of the string bands, and sheer joy of the Mummers made it unforgettable.

From babies to elderly performers, the parade is a true family tradition, passed down through generations, keeping Philadelphia’s heritage and festive spirit alive year after year. I will definitely be back next year.”
