Appearance
Adelphia New Years Association is a Fancy Mother Club in Philadelphia's annual Mummers Parade, one of two new groups added in 2008.[1] They are named after Adelphia Avenue in Wilmington, where one of the members of the founding family lives. They meet in his garage and his basement serves as their costume shop.[2]
They are the first new Fancy added to the Parade since Hog Island in 1942. Based in Wilmington, Delaware, they are the first Fancy formed out of state.[3]
