Scottish Christmas Walk Weekend

2007-11-29 00:00:00 - 2007-12-01 00:00:00

In their 37th year as host of the Scottish Christmas Walk Weekend, The Campagna Center is proud to launch Alexandria’s holiday season with the fresh scent of heather and the festive melody of bagpipes throughout the quaint streets of Old Town. Weekend events include a children's concert, a Christmas Marketplace, a children's tea party, the Taste of Scotland Scotch Tasting, the Designer Tour of Homes, a Celtic concert, and the 37th Annual Scottish Christmas Walk Parade.

For the 2007 Scottish Christmas Walk Weekend, we are excited to announce a new location—the George Washington Masonic Memorial will host the Scottish Christmas Walk Weekend events! The Memorial is located at 101 Callahan Drive (at the intersection of King & Callahan) in Alexandria

What better than a city rich in Scottish heritage to be the gathering site for clans and pipe and drum bands from far and near with their faithful companions, the terriers and hounds. The Saint Andrew’s Society of Washington, D.C. partners with The Campagna Center to sponsor the annual parade complete with over 100 clans dressed in their colorful tartans.

Consistently ranked by the Southeast Tourism Society as one of the top 20 events in the South, the Scottish Christmas Walk Weekend draws nearly 30,000 individuals and families to the Parade. Tourists travel from throughout the Mid-Atlantic region to participate in this celebrated community event.
