Please join us for the first Robert Burns Night hosted by the Tucson Celtic Festival Association! The tradition of Burns Suppers continues around the Globe, celebrating the Life, Poetry, Music and Wisdom of Robert Burns for over 250 years. Known as the “Ploughman Poet”, Burns brought the perspective of the common Scot to the forefront uniquely in the Scots dialect and with the view to Life at its essential level. His perspective is poignant, insightful, inspired, irreverent and works in today’s world. Burns is witty, sarcastic, political, satirical and spot-on yet today. His short life was tumultuous, fiery and steamy…even by today’s standards! What was a life if not lived on the edge? Robert Burns was one of the original “Bad Boys”…with flair, intellect and purpose! Yes, Robert Burns was the Poet Rock Star of his day! Come willing to be amazed & inspired!
This will be a spectacular evening in the beautiful setting of the Victorian Era Z Mansion! If you have never experienced a Burns Supper, you will be amazed and will wonder why you have missed this experience!
