In keeping with an annual tradition, more than 250 showed up for the 2016 Union League New Year's Day festivities. Packing into the hallowed halls of the Union League, dressed in their holiday finest, were 1,850 Union League officers and members, from grandparents to newborn babies and friends. Festivities included family-fun activities throughout the building, including magicians, jugglers, face painters, balloon sculptors, and a caricature artist. Reserved bleachers were available for the brave who filled first-row seats on Broad Street to watch the Mummers.
