Scottish Christmas Parade Washington DC

Published: Dec 19, 2016 · Modified: Nov 16, 2023 by Lizzy · This post may contain affiliate links

As we walked down to the City Hall, where this event would start, people walked with kilts and their bagpipes.

The best part of just getting there was witnessing all the dogs dolled up in their special uniform for the parade. I couldn't believe how cute the dog's outfits were on these doggies.

I was really surprised to see so many people in clan kilts, especially the children.

The Scottish pride was out for the day, including dog pride. I keep wondering why men wear skirts..  Still a bit of a mystery to me!!!

It was a cold Saturday morning to enjoy a neighborhood parade to bring in the holiday cheer. I got all bundled up in extra layers of clothes and geared up my camera ready to go!

So as the dogs walked by and members of the parade threw candy at you, I of course fetched as much as I could for my mother-in-law.

The woman loves candy! The parade lasted for about two hours on our street and we all had a great time together, even in 20 degrees of weather. It was now time to grab a bite to eat so Christmas shopping could begin!

About Lizzy

I love to cook, eat and find good places to have a great meal so no matter where I go I always ask the locals the same question, “Where’s a good place to eat?”
