The wenches appear to be just about done...not sure who is next.
Looks like comics are up after Wenches. And then string bands.
So noon for string bands, maybe? Not sure how many comic brigades there are.

Thanks guys. I got the app to load on my phone finally. I will keep checking every 30 mins or so to see if they started. I don't have cable. I can't get it to pick up on my antenna or laptop. Phone app seems to be working tho.
Thanks was looking for a guide with the specific order if each group too. I believe this whole stream was very last minute. Dawn Stensland and Larry Mendte are awful. I didn't think string bands start until 1 but I will report back
The websites are useless! I keep finding what order the string bands are coming down in, but that's kinda pointless if you can't tell me what time to expect them 🤷🏻♀️
The stream commentary has been painful to listen to. And, yes, trying to find a marching order/schedule online has been a fruitless endeavor.
It’s on the ME TV channel on comcast
I don't have cable tv service unfortunately. I was really bummed when they took it off PHL 17, cuz I have an antenna that picks up 60+ channels including 17, but not MeTv2.
Totally weird it not being on 17.
more like 1:00-1:30
Imagine being new to town and stumbling across this comment

If you have an antenna you can pick it up. It's channel 2 for me
The Mummers parade could be truly entertaining if it fucking moved at something like a parade pace. It takes hours for anything to happen. And it’s all because these bozos stop for 20 minutes every three blocks to coordinate exactly how they’ll stumble around.
They’ll be on around 1:30p. The last comic club is on now, but not sure how many more they’ve got, so it might be a little after 1:30p but shouldn’t be too delayed.

130 is suppose to be when the stringbands start
String bands coming up in a bit! Whoop!
String bands on next!
1sr string band starting at City Hall (1:43)
Lmao. Did my husband just write this? He isn’t a fan while I enjoy them. I don’t have cable but I do have a Roku. I got the app for the channel showing the parade on my Roku however the parade won’t play on the Ipad, it will only play on the TV. It interrupted the Eagles game and I thought he was going to go ballistic. Lol. Can’t stop giggling.

They really are awful. They're making it hard to watch.
That one chick interviewed the teenage captain of one string band and said, "Your dad must have been proud of you to choose you as his successor at such a young age." His dad died suddenly of a heart attack when he was 12, which was how he got named Captain.
I tried to attend the parade for the first time in forever. I thought it technically started at 9am, so I hung around on Broad for like 1.5 hours around noon. I saw maybe 4 groups go by? Why does it take fucking 20mins for anything to happen? I wish there was some kind of schedule or...anything.
Honestly happy the crowd was all having fun, saw some friends, the whole event felt less "white Italian-pride douchefest" than in the past, so that's great. But I can't see myself going back next year to watch a 6 hour parade where practically nothing happens?
Yeah, that got an audible 'oh no' from me while I was watching.
It’s because the Mummers do it for the Mummers. It’s a self congratulatory organization. They don’t give a fuck about the audience and they’d outlaw crowds entirely if they could.
Lol I'm sitting here with some wenches right now and they said they got there at like 9 and didn't head out till almost noon.
Now I know how the Mummers who had a wedding last night at my job made it to Philly for the parade.
For context: Wedding ended midnight, with an after party till 2, and my job is about an hour outside of Philly. So I was questioning how that was going to be possible, guess it is when you don't have be there till noon.
