The Fancy Brigade Association, a division of the Mummers Parade, today announced Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia as the title sponsor and WPVI-TV (6ABC) as its broadcast partner of the 2025 Fancy Brigade Fest and Finale. This comes as the 2025 Mummers Parade will mark its 124th anniversary, with the Fancy Brigade Division celebrating its 65th year as a distinct division.
“As we near three decades performing at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, and continue to evolve the Fancy Brigade Association’s show into an extravaganza, we’re thrilled to once again partner with Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia as the title sponsor for the Fancy Brigade Fest and Finale,” said Anthony Stagliano, Jr., Business Agent of the Fancy Brigade Association. “Live! Philadelphia has proven to be a true partner, deeply committed to our tradition, our community and the long-standing legacy of the Fancy Brigades.”

Philadelphia is committed to championing the communities in which our guests and team members live and work and there’s no better way to kick off 2025 than with the Fancy Brigade Fest and Finale and the Mummers Parade.”
The Fancy Brigades are considered the most elaborate division that performs at the Pennsylvania Convention Center thanks to its massive sets, advanced audiovisual technology, stunning special effects and breathtaking costumes that leave audiences in awe. Spectators can purchase tickets to watch the Fancy Brigade Fest and Finale Presented by Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia on Ticket Leap now.
The visually spectacular show will be also broadcast on 6ABC’s sister station, The Localish Network on January 1, 2025 at 8:00 p.m. The Localish Network is available over the air on channel 6.2 and on cable. It will also be available on-demand on 6ABC’s digital platforms, including 6ABC.com, the 6ABC mobile app, and free streaming apps for Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV and Roku.
“We’re proud to work with 6ABC for the third year and it’s been an amazing experience,” said Jack Hatty, Jr., President of the Fancy Brigade Association. “Their well-thought-out plan on a great show is second to none.”
In addition to their indoor performance at the Convention Center, all 12 clubs will also parade through Philadelphia from City Hall to Broad and Washington without props or floats during the storied Mummers Parade.
“The stars aligned when the Fancy Brigade Association, Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia, and 6ABC joined forces,” Stagliano added. “While this event may only be broadcast on New Year’s Day, it takes a year to produce such a great show. It couldn’t have been done without the generosity of our partners.”
