Rose Tree Place in Upper Providence kicked off Independence Day in style with a festive celebration that was recently featured in the Delaware County Daily Times. On July 2, residents and families came together for a lively performance by Mums the Word, Philly, a local Mummers band renowned for its colorful costumes and distinctive sound.
The event honored a unique piece of Philadelphia tradition while also celebrating a lesser-known milestone in American history — the day the Continental Congress first voted for independence from Great Britain in 1776. The musical celebration transformed the community’s outdoor space into a patriotic party full of dancing, laughter, and shared joy.
Mummers music has long been a crowd favorite at Rose Tree Place, and this year’s performance was no exception. Residents tapped their feet, waved flags, and enjoyed the high-energy atmosphere as the band played beloved tunes. Family members and team associates joined in on the fun, making it a truly intergenerational celebration.
By hosting this event, Rose Tree Place not only celebrated the local love for the Mummers but also paid tribute to a significant moment in American history. It’s just one example of how the community blends vibrant cultural traditions with meaningful experiences that bring people together.
