Kirkin ‘O Tartan: Sunday, October 13, 2024 (10:00 AM church service)
All Saints Episcopal Church, 310 Elm Ave, Hershey, PA
Our traditional Kirkin ‘O Tartan service will be held in Hershey this year. As is our practice, we move the Kirkin service to various area churches to broaden the reach for why we hold the Kirkin. During this church service, we recognize the time in history when the wearing of the tartan and the playing of the bagpipes were banned. Anyone in attendance may present a tartan cloth to have it blessed.
St. Andrews Dinner and Meeting: Tuesday, November 12, 2024 (6:00 -9:00 PM)
Mechanicsburg Presbyterian Church, 300 E. Simpson Street, Mechanicsburg, PA
Our annual St. Andrews dinner will once again be held at the Mechanicsburg Presbyterian Church. The evening will include a pot-luck dinner and entertainment/education component which will be determined at a later date.
Burns Night, Saturday, January 25, 2025 (5:00 – 9:00 PM)
Penn Harris Hotel, 1150 Camp Hill Bypass, Camp Hill, PA
The Scottish Society of Central Pennsylvania will hold its 69th Burns Night celebrating the 266th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns on the last Saturday in January 2025. Since Burns was born on January 25, 1759, this year we will actually be celebrating on the anniversary of his birth. This is our biggest event of the year and a night filled with ceremony and toasts, musical entertainment including bagpiping, good food including haggis, and an opportunity to wear a kilt and/or a sash. It is also a perfect time to introduce someone to why we celebrate being Scottish and why Robert Burns is important. Our musical entertainment at this Burns Night will be presented by Charlie Zahm and Tad Marks.
