Mummers Parade vs SantaCon


Listen Later

The Mummers Parade is a Philadelphia tradition. If you were born here and raised right, you enjoyed the Mummers at some point. The problem with the Mummers is that they are not v woke. In 2016 they were under fire for homophobic and racist acts. Add this on top of a bunch of drunk people pissing in the street, and it’s not exactly everyone’s favorite way to welcome the new year.But what else are you going to do? Dress up as Santa and go on a Saturday afternoon bar crawl?SantaCon is Actually a ThingThere is a website for this national event. It travels from city to city around the holidays like a Bad Santa mall tour. First and foremost SantaCon is not actually a convention. It’s a bar crawl. Also they have a .info domain name, so you know this shit is jank a f.SantaCon does offer a time-honored tradition: plaguing a neighborhood with ignorance and matching outfits. If you enjoy the Erin Express during St. Patrick’s Day, you probably would love SantaCon.The Mummers Are the Ultimate Drinking EventThe problem with SantaCon is that Philadelphia already has something better: the Mummers Parade. If you are the type of person that wants to get sloppy drunk and pee outside, why don a Santa costume when you can dress like a viking? The answer is you have to settle for a red jumpsuit because you don’t live in Philadelphia.This Mummer costume is more badass than any bar crawl ever.And Philadelphia does drinking well. The city offers all the usual degenerate events like SantaCon and the Erin Express. But the Mummers Parade is like the Super Bowl of alcohol poisoning. Also the Mummers this year were way less racist, so that’s a plus.Mummers Parade vs SantaConThe internet doesn’t lie. We posed this question to the Twitterverse, and they have spoken.
