Burns Supper
The Port Alberni Highland Dancers Association has
hosted the annual Robbie Burns Supper for the past 36 years as a
fundraiser in support of Port Alberni highland dancers. Dancers from
our school entertain the assembled guests with both traditional and
choreographed group dances. This year's elegant SOLD OUT event took
place on January 26, 2019 at the Echo Centre and
featured a buffet roast beef dinner with all the trimmings and of
course, haggis. All the traditional speeches are delivered by guest
speakers, including the Address to the Haggis, Toast to the Lassies
& Reply, and the Immortal Memory of Robert Burns. Entertainment by
the West Coast Highlanders Pipe Band and Alberni Valley Old Time Fiddlers rounded out the entertainment.
