ANNANDALE, Va. — Sponsored by the Annandale Chamber of Commerce, this 74-year-old tradition is a beloved annual community event. Thousands of participants, including costumed characters, marching bands, antique and military vehicles, fire trucks, civic organizations, scouting units, and beautifully dressed international dancers, take part in the festivities. The parade route stretches along Columbia Pike, starting at the historic Annandale United Methodist Church, passing the Annandale Shopping Center, and continuing to Gallows Road.
