Mummers Parade: Watch Uptown String Band's Performance

LANGHORNE, PA —All that hard work paid off. But for anyone who didn't catch their performance Sunday, here is the Uptown String Band's performance in Sunday's Mummers Day parade.

After practicing for several months in the gymnasium of the closed Saint Bosco School off East County Line Road in Warminster, the Uptown String Band hit Broad Street Sunday to strut their stuff with their "Safari So Far" routine. See video below.

"Wow! We are so proud of our 2023 performance of “Safari So Good”!! 364 Days till next year, let the preparations begin," the string band posted on its Facebook page Monday.

This year’s 2023 Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia Mummers Parade was broadcast on MeTV in the Philadelphia Area. MeTV is channel 502 for Verizon or 802 for Comcast.

Calling themselves "The Pride of Bucks County," the Langhorne-based annual participant in the Philadelphia Mummers Parade is a fully-volunteer organization with nearly 200 members and a history dating back to 1937.

This year's theme is “Safari So Good” with musical influences from The Lion King and Jungle Book.
The Uptown String Band performs at functions in Bucks County and surrounding areas throughout the year. They've appeared on the boardwalk in Ocean City, N.J., and even at weddings.
