Dauphin's rich Scottish heritage will be celebrated Saturday night with another edition of Robbie Burns Night.
The Dauphin Legion Pipe Band is putting on the event, and Kate Storey says they will pay homage to the famed Scottish poet and songwriter."
"Robbie Burns celebrates the common man. He was a regular person like you and me. He lived in the 1700s and was a poet and a songwriter. And at that time people could not talk about politics. You would get into a lot of trouble if you did so. So his political songs kind of said what people thought, but could not really say."
Burns night includes Scottish food and performances from the Dauphin Legion Pipe Band and local Highland Dancers.
Storey adds Burns Night has been a long-established event in Dauphin.
"Dauphin has been celebrating its Scottish heritage since 1907. We did miss a year or two due to COVID, but otherwise (Burns night) has happened every single year."
The event begins at 7 pm Saturday at the Dauphin Legion and is free to attend.
