Make your summer in Bonavista memorable by joining the fun at the Mummers Parade and Town BBQ.

​

Mummers are masked merrymakers in quirky costumes who go to great lengths to keep their identities hidden, including changing the way they walk and talk and adding padding in all the wrong places to change their shape or size.  It’s not uncommon to cover faces with a pillowcase or lace curtain. Mummers can also carry “ugly sticks,” which are hand-made musical instruments they have fashioned out of household items or tools, and almost always with an old boot or shoe at the bottom. Find out more about where to meet up to join the pararde.
