► Skagit Valley Highland Games, July 9-10, 2011, Edgewater Park, Mount Vernon, WA

Robert Burns Scottish Evening

Our longest running event, the Robert Burns Scottish Evening is a celebration of the 18th century Scottish poet and all things Scottish. A traditional Scottish meal is prepared and served, poetry is read, toasts given, and yes, there will be plenty of haggis for everyone!

As with most of our events, we feature piping and Highland dancing, along with some traditional Scottish music.

Here is a chance to support the Celtic Arts Foundation. Attendance is expected to be 200 for this sit down event at Hillcrest Lodge in Mount Vernon. One sponsorship is available:
