An Extraordinary Evening For those of you who wonder what Robert Burns is most famous for, think about that song everyone sings on New Year's Eve. That's correct!

Burns' Night is our annual, extraordinary celebration of the life, works and spirit of the great Scottish poet, Robert Burns (1759-1796). Celebrated on, or about, the Bard's birthday, January 25th, the event is ideal for brightening up the cold, wet and dark St. Louis winter evenings. Just before Tom Schlafly reads his poem ( read Tom Schlafly's 2008 poem), our Scotch Ale is escorted in by a fancy procession of pipers and drummers. Naturally, we cook up some extraordinarily delicious Scottish food, and round out the festivities with the best Celtic musicians in St. Louis.

Always a fun, loose evening, the event encompasses the whole of life's emotions in one evening. There is the serious thought provoking speech (of course laced with humour) along with song, nostalgia, merriment, satire, wit, happiness and sadness.
