Mummers String Band Contest Set for Jan. 31 at Lincoln Financial Field

New Year’s Day winds damaged props, injuring five people, forcing a move to the Eagles’ stadium.

Overview

  • The judged competition will begin at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31, at Lincoln Financial Field.
  • Tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster, priced at $12 for lower level seats and $24 for club level.
  • WFMZ-TV and MeTV2 will carry the event live with streaming on WFMZ+ and ZEAM.
  • The rescheduling follows the first cancellation in the event’s roughly 120-year history after 30–60 mph winds and snow squalls destroyed set pieces and injured five people.
  • Organizers say the Eagles offered the venue, and ticket revenue will cover logistics such as transportation, generators, and security.
