Just on the other side of the Potomac River, from Washington, DC, is a quaint historic town called Old Town Alexandria. What used to be an important colonial port during the colonial, revolutionary, and Civil War periods, has now turned into a revitalized waterfront with cobblestone streets, historic colonial houses and churches, museums, shops, and restaurants.
The City of Alexandria Holiday Tree Lighting at Old Town Alexandria is a wonderful festival where people can engage in different fun activities in the historic town of Alexandria.
The Scottish Christmas Walk Weekend is when hundreds of Scottish clansmen walk the streets and parade with their bagpipes throughout the city of Old Town Alexandria.
