Burns Night
January poetry festival
Burns Night is the annual Scottish celebration honoring poet Robert Burns, held on or around January 25, his birthday.
The traditional supper features haggis, whisky, and recitations of Burns's poetry, particularly "Address to a Haggis." We're hosting a Burns Night supper this year.
The celebration has spread wherever Scottish diaspora communities exist.
