The celebration of the birth of Robert Burns, the poet laureate of Scotland, has been an ongoing tradition around the world for 267 years. These celebrations generally include the poetry, music and songs written by Burns along with some great food, good friends and of course beverages to warm the heart.

Here in Cleveland the Scottish Heritage Association of Northeastern Ohio has been hosting the Robert Burns event for many years. The evening is filled with Scottish Traditions and celebrations with food, music, dancing and fun. Many families have made it an annual family event and have passed this tradition down over the generations. Others join us for the first time and enjoy the evening so much they come back year after year.

We also have many of the Burns favorites planned this year and have made some accommodations in order to support the health and safety of all involved:

Meal: The meal is served family style. There are vegan and gluten free meals available upon request.

Music: We are excited to announce that Highland Square Dance Music will be providing music. The Lochaber Pipe Band will be our pipe band.

Dancing: You can't have great music without dancing. The Heather Belles from the Jenny May School of Highland Dance will be with us again with both Traditional and Contemporary dances.

Attire: This is a time to dress up. Wear your Highland attire or cocktail and evening attire.
