SAVE THE DATE! On Saturday, January 25, 2025, the Scottish Society of the Louisiana Highlands will present its annual Burns Supper at the Civic Center, 520 Broadway, Minden, LA 71055.
2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the Burns Supper held by the Scottish Society of the Louisiana Highlands. A Burns Supper is a celebration of the life of the Poet Laureate of Scotland, Robert Burns, who is celebrated by people of Scottish descent all round the globe on the anniversary of his birth, January 25. The very first Burns Supper sponsored by this group was held in Minden three decades ago. Successive Burns Night events were held in Shreveport/Bossier since that time, but the gala is returning to Minden in 2025.
The 2025 Burns Supper will take place from 5:00-9:00 pm and will feature:
• The “piping of the haggis” and “Address to a Haggis”
• Toasts to Robert Burns, Scotland and to all Lads and Lassies present
• Live traditional Scottish music and dance with a caller to direct dance steps
• Traditional Scottish food catered by Geaux Fresh of Minden
• a Silent Auction featuring items relating to Scottish culture
• a raffle of Scotch whiskies
• cash bar
Open to the Public!
This formal event is open to anyone who loves to laugh, hear the pipes, or wear a tartan! Tickets are available only through January 11 and can be purchased online by going to the website.
