robert burns night NOMA

In partnership with The NOLA Project theater company, The New Orleans Museum of Art will present a fun and nontraditional Scottish celebration of poetry, music, food, and drink for the entire New Orleans community. Pull out your kilt and tartan and come be a Scotsman for the night as we celebrate the life, times, and poetry of one of the world’s greatest poets, Robert Burns.

The evening will feature bagpipes and Scottish country dancers from the Caledonian Society of New Orleans, a parade and Ode to the Haggis, live music, singing, and a host of spoken poetry delivered by members of theatre company and special guests from the community. Come join the fun, learn about the legend of Robert Burns, sign up to read a poem, sing a song, and celebrate the Scottish way. Food and drink will be available for purchase from Cafe NOMA, and the Art on the Spot drop-in activity table welcomes all visitors. Regular admission prices apply, though NOMA members get in free. noma.org.
