The Alsatia Mummers Parade is an annual Halloween-season parade in Hagerstown, Maryland, organized by the Alsatia Club Inc. and first held in 1921. It is a locally rooted community parade tradition distinct from Philadelphia's New Year's Day Mummers Parade, despite the shared Mummers name.
In 1921, Hagerstown, Maryland's Alsatia Club put together a Halloween-season parade that has continued in some form for more than a century.
At over a century old, the parade is one of Hagerstown's longest-running civic traditions, predating most of the city's other annual festivals by decades
It is organized by the Alsatia Club, a local civic and service organization, rather than by city government, giving it the character of a community-club-run event rather than a municipal production
Its name invites confusion with Philadelphia's famous New Year's Day Mummers Parade, but the two are unrelated events organized by different clubs in different states with different timing
The core confirmed tradition is the parade itself
run annually by the Alsatia Club since 1921 during the Halloween season
making it a fixture of Hagerstown's fall civic calendar for more than a century
Specific ritual elements beyond the parade's long annual run could not be independently verified from sources reached in this research pass
