Alexandria Scottish Christmas Walk Parade

My city of Alexandria was founded in 1749 by Scottish merchants and was named after Scotsman John Alexander who owned the land that became Alexandria. So every year in December we have a bunch of people with Scottish ancestry that walk in the parade, there are bagpipes and drums, other local community groups including Ethiopian performers and groups for Latin America, and most importantly LOTS of Dogs. Plus Santa of course!
