Modeled after Scotland's Hogmanay Festival, a day when townspeople honor their community and merchants and offer blessings for prosperity in the coming year. The Olde Towne Scottish Walk, a procession led by pipe-and-drum bands, starts at Queen and Washington streets in the parking lot of Monumental United Methodist Church and ends at High Street Landing. Enjoy walking, pipe music, caroling and mini-concerts at Olde Towne restaurants and pubs. Pipe bands are welcome to join. Come wear your warmest woolens and plaids and join in the fun. Past events have included ancient weaponry demonstrations, children's story telling, and free whiskey tastings. Free.
