The Fancy Brigades are as much a part of New Year’s in Philadelphia as confetti celebrations, countdowns, and resolutions. Like clockwork on January 1st, clans of costumed members parade through the city streets, strutting and dancing throughout the day.
The Fancy Brigades put their own spin on a time-honored tradition by taking their revelry inside the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
The most theatrical of the bunch, the 12 clubs get into character with lavish costumes and elaborate floats and props, then take center stage to perform Broadway-quality choreographed performances.
Year after year, it’s a sequined-studded show no fan should miss.
