After being rescheduled due to rain, the Mummers Parade returns to Philadelphia on Sunday, which means a series of road closures and parking restrictions.
The colorful strut down Broad Street had been noticeably absent during the COVID-19 pandemic era, but city officials have deemed it safe to go on this year, though masks will be required. Health experts are also encouraging people to wear masks, avoid extremely crowded areas and stay outdoors.
Below are the closures and when they’ll be implemented, per the Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Department.
