🎶 Kilts, bagpipes, and Highland vibes! 🇸🇨 We had a blast last night (7/10/25) celebrating Alexandria’s Scottish heritage at the City of Alexandria Pipes & Drums free summer concert in Market Square! 🥁🔥

The band brought precision, power, and over 50 years of tradition—plus a special performance by the talented dancers of the Alexandria School of Highland Dance! 💃🏽✨

💥 Missed it? Don’t worry! The next show is Thursday, August 7 @ 7:45 PM at Market Square (300 King St). Grab your tartan and come join the fun!
