The Downtowners Fancy Brigade was organized in 1959 as a part of the Oregon Fancy Club.  In 1976 we were incorporated as a non profit organization and, along with other brigades, formed the Fancy Brigade Association.  Since then, the Brigades have marched, performed and competed for prizes in a separate Division of the annual Philadelphia New Year's Day Mummers Parade.  You are invited to browse through the pages in our site to learn more about us; our history, accomplishments and some views of past performances.
