Uptown String Band

Uptown String Band Uptown String Band is a non-profit performing arts organization in Langhorne, PA established in 1937. Hello and Welcome.

We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation who is dedicated to fostering and promoting the musical arts, encouraging the continuance of the Philadelphia Mummers Parade, and to donate our time, talents, and resources to and for the Bucks County community and other local non-profit organizations. The Uptown String Band is a participant of the Philadelphia Mummers Parade of the String Band Division ba

sed in Parkland, Pennsylvania. We are a fully volunteer organization comprised of nearly 200 individuals with our history dating back to 1937. We strive to bring the cheer and joy of the distinct mummers sound and the profound pageantry of sequined and plumed costumes. Our goal is simple – to share the mummers experience, one of Philadelphia’s most unique and storied traditions, through personalized performances for individuals, companies, and any town’s event that is looking for a one of a kind affair. While our vision is noble, we support our cause with the reliability of over 80 years of experience in mummery and the professionalism of nearly 50 performances in a given a year. Our passion stems from the commitment we have to our tradition, our identity as a family, and the pride we share as the only mummers organization based in the Bucks County area. As a non-profit organization that is managed by a 100% volunteer membership, all of our funds generated from performances, hosting local events, and rental services at Uptown Hall go entirely towards our New Year’s Day production in the Philadelphia Mummers Parade and operation expenses. The Uptown String Band is always looking for new opportunities to share the mummer’s tradition with new audiences and is constantly on the search for new volunteers of varying talents and skill sets. If you are looking for more information about Hiring the Band or renting Uptown Hall, please check out their respective pages.

🇺🇸 Memorial Day 2026! 🇺🇸

As we remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, we also want to thank everyone who came out to support this weekend’s celebrations.

We know many of you were disappointed by the cancellations of the Hulmeville-Penndel and Livingston parades due to the weather, so we wanted to share a video from yesterday’s parade in case we missed you!

Hooray for Uptown! 🎷🥁

One of our favorite Uptown traditions happens at the end of a parade circling up to play “Hooray for Uptown” while celebrating a member’s very first parade as an official performing member.

This time, we’re proud to welcome Charlie Kornstedt! 👏 Charlie officially completed his first parade with the Uptown String Band and earned his spot in the center of the circle for his mummers strut.

Congratulations, Charlie! 💙🤍
