ALEXANDRIA WALK
December 7, 2024
The Saint Andrew’s Society of Philadelphia has been participating in the annual Alexandria Scottish Christmas Walk Parade for over a decade. It immediately follows our annual dinner celebration and is a wonderful family friendly kick off to the Christmas Holiday in a most beautiful historic town. We welcome all friends and family to don their most Scottish attire and join us in marching with our historic Standards and most talented Pipers!
Among its esteemed founders was Dr. Thomas Graeme, a prominent physician and influential figure in Colonial Philadelphia society. His leadership and vision helped lay the foundation for the enduring legacy of the Society.
