Virginia International Tattoo

For centuries, the cry "Tattoo" echoed throughout Europe - first a call by to innkeepers to "Turn off the taps!" - and then as the name for a grand display of military bands and drill teams. The legendary Tattoos of Edinburgh and Nova Scotia are now rivaled by the largest Tattoo in the U.S. - our own Virginia International Tattoo. Mounting a mighty spectacle that changes every year, the Virginia International Tattoo summons more than 1,000 performers including pipe and drum corps, bagpipers, military bands, precision drill teams, and performing ensembles ranging from step dancers to motorcycle stunt drivers. A salute to international friendship and an emotional call to the love of country in us all, the Tattoo is an unmissable celebration. See the show that America's premier tourism organization has named the Number One U.S. destination for travelers (American Bus Association Best of 100 Events in North America).

Everyone must have a tickets. No babes in arms. No cameras or recording devices.
