In #earlymodern London, 29 October (the day after the feast of Saints Simon and Jude) was the day of the Lord Mayor's Triumph.

Late as I walked through Cheapside, an early #17thCentury ballad from Ms Drexel 4257 describes the sights and sounds of the day.

Details include the Lord Mayor's procession through the streets of London, accompanied by civic dignitaries, liverymen, whifflers, and more; horses, wild men and noisy fireworks; and pageants with boy and girl actors.
From the Gamble Commonplace Book, Ms Drexel 4257

Richard de Winter: tenor
Robin Jeffrey: lute
Alison Kinder: bass viol
Tamsin Lewis: violin
