The legendary Victoria Highland Games are just around the corner, which means it’s time for the Tartan Parade
The 163rd annual Victoria Tartan Parade will be taking place on Saturday, May 9th to introduce the Victoria Highland Games and Celtic Festival, which will be taking place the following weekend.
The parade will begin mustering at Centennial Square at 11 a.m., travel south on Government Street and finish at the grounds of the BC legislature.
Upon arrival at the grounds, there will be performances and demonstrations of traditional Highland Games events.
It will consist of pipe bands, highland dancers and members of local Celtic and Scottish organizations in the region
Organizers encourage anyone with Scottish or Celtic heritage who has a family tartan to wear (or anyone who simply likes the fashion) to show it off at the event!
VicPD are advising drivers, pedestrians and cyclists that there will be road closures from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. for the parade.
VicPD special duty members have also been assigned to help manage road closures and provide security during the event.
Get out the argyle socks and get down to the Legislature, Victoria!
