Today is World Tartan Day, so wherever you are in Knoxville, wear your plaids and tartans! Practically everyone in Appalachia has a Scots-Irish connection, so celebrate the day by wearing your most colorful plaids.In Knoxville, Erin Presbyterian Church will be hosting a Kirking of the Tartans worship service. A piper, a drummer, and some kilted representatives of the Scottish Society of Knoxville will be present. They will be proudly bearing their Scottish clan banners and presenting them for a blessing by the minister.
The worship service and parade begin at 11.00AM. Everyone is welcome to come along, proudly wear their tartans, and enjoy the spectacle!
Erin Church is located on Lockett Road, which is just off Kingston Pike on Bearden Hill.
