I think the parade should just parade down 2nd street screw the city and city hall they are the ones who ruined the parade I been going and participating for 50 years
So Sad BROAD and CARPENTER bleachers and nobody is performing!!!! Parade needs to go back UP BROAD STREET not stop at Washington. 35 years attending and this is by far the most depressing year ever. And weather is beautiful but POLITICS RUINED PARADE
Your comment on the wenches is confusing. Will they be marching south on Broad st after judging or should we catch them between 8 and 10 as they move north? Thanks!
All string bands are scheduled to perform at broad and sansom.

Will the String Bands be performing their complete drill at the Performance Areas on Broad Street, with all their props, just like in front of the judges?
String Bands will only use props at city hall. After city hall, the bands will do their full performance ( without props) at Broad and Sansom and Broad and Carpenter.

The city of Philadelphia has lost its tradition. The parade need go south to north on Broad Street. Preforming for the hospitals and the hotels.
