This is my second marriage and I want my dad to walk me down the aisle. Any ideas on how to explain to him without hurting his feelings that I don't want to be "given away" ?

Dear Monkey,
So, you don't want your father walking you down the aisle? I'm assuming that is what you mean and forgot the "not" in the first sentence. If I'm wrong, please let me know.
None of us are given away these days, just escorted. But, the meaning is still there for most of us. So, I understand your apprehension. I believe that it is best to be honest about your reason for not wanting this tradition. If you let him know how you feel about this, it should make it easier for him to accept.
You can walk by yourself or be escorted by anyone. It is your choice.
