🎪 Life is a Circus 🎪 Marching in the Mummers Parade with the Pineland Mummers in Philadelphia is something we look forward to every year. This year was extra special getting to share it with our friends at @karnivalofthearts . For some of our friends it was something new we got to introduce them to, and for the rest of us, an annual tradition we look forward to! It's all about friends, family, costumes, amazing performances and celebration! We dress up all year at our shows in our Mummers cost
