Don’t put that Mummers strut to sleep after New Year's Day. The Mummers — known for strutting down Broad Street — once again added Main Street to the mix.
The Mummers marched down Main Street in Manayunk on Saturday as a late Mardi Gras celebration.
Mummers joined Manayunk Development Corporation officials and U.S. Congressman Bob Brady (D-Pa. 1st District) to announce plans for this year's parade at a Thursday afternoon news conference.
After weather pushed back last year's first-annual Manayunk strut, the Mummers enjoyed warm and sunny weather Saturday for this year's event.
Organizers kept the February edition of the parade — dubbed the “Mummers Mardi Gras Parade in Manayunk” — a family-friendly affair by keeping alcohol off Main Street and instead in the bars. The string bands even used some local haunts as temporary houses once the parade wrapped up.
The parade brought some extra business to Main Street bars and restaurants.
The parade route ran from Green Lane to Lock Street — about 1 mile — and exclusively featured string bands playing the length of Main Street.

A man is recovering after he fell through stairs as they collapsed at a condominium complex in the Old City section of Philadelphia Saturday.
The man was walking on the stairs inside a condo complex on the 200 block of Church Street when the stairs suddenly collapsed. The man fell through and was briefly trapped, officials said.
Officials were eventually able to get the man out and he was taken to Jefferson University Hospital where he was treated for a laceration to the right leg. Officials said he was conscious and alert.
L&I officials were called to the condominium complex to assess the damage and investigate the cause of the collapse.
Friends and family are mourning a woman who was killed in a fire at a Burlington County condominium complex.
The 2-alarm fire started in Building 39 of the Florence Tollgate Condominiums in Florence Township around 9:30 p.m. Friday. Fire officials told NBC10 they searched the building that night but it was dark and not structurally sound. It wasn’t until Saturday morning when they found the body of a woman on a couch. Family members identified the victim as 72-year-old Irene Thorn Avillion.
Avillion's niece, Lisa Reed, said she first found out about the fire when she watched NBC10 Saturday. She then called her family to see if anyone had heard from her aunt. They then called hospitals and the Red Cross and later learned the tragic news.
“She was a kindhearted person,” Reed said. “She loved animals. She loved people, loved her family. She would do anything, go out of her way for anybody.”
Six other people, including three first responders, were also injured during the fire. The victims were taken to the hospital and all but one were released.
Eight people in all were displaced by the fire. Officials continue to investigate the cause.
An elderly woman died while six other people were injured following a car crash in Georgetown, Delaware Saturday afternoon.
Police say a 79-year-old woman was driving a 2007 Chrysler Town & Country on Redden Road approaching the intersection of Check Road around 4:10 p.m. At the same time a 44-year-old driver of a 2006 Toyota Sequoia was traveling westbound on Redden Road, according to officials.
As the two vehicles approached each other, the Chrysler crossed into the westbound lane directly into the path of the Toyota, police said. The driver of the Toyota swerved left in an attempt to avoid a crash but the vehicle’s right side was struck by the Chrysler, according to police. The collision caused both vehicles to spin out of control. The Chrysler then came to a rest in the middle of the roadway while the Toyota came to a stop in a private driveway.
The 79-year-old driver of the Chrysler and three passengers, a 77-year-old woman, 87-year-old man and 85-year-old Eleanor Brown of Delaware, were all injured in the crash. Brown was taken to Milford Memorial Hospital where she died from her injuries.
The 79-year-old driver was taken to Milford Memorial as well and is being treated for serious injuries while the 77-year-old was airlifted to Christiana Hospital where she is being treated for life-threatening injuries.
The 87-year-old man was also taken to Milford Memorial where he was treated for minor injuries and later released.
The 44-year-old driver of the Toyota and two passengers, a 41-year-old woman and a 12-year-old child, were also injured in the crash. The driver of the Toyota was treated for minor injuries and later released while the 12-year-old is being treated at AI DuPont Hospital for a non-life threatening injury. The 41-year-old woman was airlifted to Christiana Hospital and is being treated for serious injuries. An 11-year-old child and a 14-year-old child were also inside the Toyota but were not hurt.
Police say alcohol and drugs did not play a role in the crash and all of the drivers and passengers were properly restrained at the time of the accident.
Redden Road was closed for about four and a half hours Saturday while officials investigated the crash.

Both the man and the boy were in critical condition Sunday morning.
