The sound of bagpipes and spectacle of tartan-clad revelers marching through Old Town will be heard and seen for the 41st consecutive year as the tradition of the Campagna Center’s Scottish Christmas Walk Weekend and Parade continues this weekend.

The Scottish government is bailing out taxpayers by footing the majority of the bill for the second year in a row. This year’s events include scotch tastings, a historic homes tour and the parade itself, and the 12th annual Holiday Boat Parade of Lights— to name a few.

The festivities will ensue rain or shine and organizers expect to draw 30,000 people. For more information visit www.scottishchristmaswalk.com.
