Burns Celebration returns for night of Scottish story & song
Bozeman Folklore and the Montana Reel & Strathspey Society will present the annual Burns Night Celebration on Saturday, January 18th. The evening tribute to the life, works and spirit of the great Scottish poet Robert Burns will be held at the Lindley Center beginning at 5:30pm.
Each year, Burns Night is celebrated on – or near – the Bard’s birthday, Jan. 25th. Burns Suppers adhere to the time honored format: eating a traditional Scottish meal, sampling Scotch whisky, and reciting works by, about, or in the spirit of Burns.
The evening starts with a potluck dinner. Please bring something to share and the haggis will be provided at 6pm. An Open Mic follows dinner when attendees are invited to perform musical acts, recite poetry, tell a story or sing. Afterward, the floor is cleared for lively ceilidh dancing to a live band. Seating is limited. Admission is $5 at the door to help cover venue costs.
An arm of Bozeman Folklore, the Montana Reel and Strathspey Society is dedicated to Scottish and Celtic music and culture. Bozeman Folklore is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting, preserving, enjoying and sharing the music, dance, arts, crafts and skills of traditional cultures.
