Not your grandfather's Robert Burns celebration, AGAIN.

Burns is back! And better than ever. Despite the success of last year's sold out inaugural event, we set a few goals for Burns Night 2: A larger venue. Table seats for everyone. A real stage. A dance floor. A full service bar. No early curfew. Easier parking. Well - done, done, done, done, done, done and done. Teutonia Mannerchor may be the perfect venue for Burns Night. Any place that can handle 200+ Oktoberfest revelers can accommodate us. But even with the added capacity, this event will sell out again, so grab your tickets soon.

By all reports, Robert Burns was a man who liked to have a good time. On the weekend nearest the 257th anniversary of his birthday (January 25, 1759) we are going to honor the man and his still-vibrant legacy by behaving accordingly. Come join us and experience the traditional Burns Supper ceremony with a contemporary twist (or three).
