I haven't watched the mummers since they ruined it and let women in. I'm not really fond of any other sorts of parades, either. The last such event I actually enjoyed as an adult was at a National Fire Convention and it was really all about the Antique Fire Apparatus.
I was in marching band through high school. I loved marching band, particularly the competitions. Parades were one of the necessary evils. Usually, we did two a year, The Miss America Parade in AC, and a local Christmas Parade. The Miss America Parade involved two miserable, long, hot miles in wool uniforms in high humidity.
We'd also occasionally have to do a parade during our Annual Band Trip ... the two most memorable being Walt Disney World and Niagara Falls, which involved marching to the Canadian side and back.
