Step into nearly two centuries of tradition at the 198th Annual St. Andrew’s Day Ball — an unforgettable evening of Scottish pageantry and elegance. The festivities begin at 5:00 p.m. with a cocktail hour in the grand foyer, where guests mingle over a cash bar and reconnect with friends old and new. At 6:00 p.m., the hall comes alive with the Grand Promenade — tartan flags held high, anthems echoing, and honored guests introduced in a proud procession.
A Scottish-inspired dinner follows, underscored by the smooth, swinging sound of the Pete Wagner Band. The evening’s entertainment weaves together the best of Scotland’s music and dance — from the haunting call of the bagpipes and the soaring harmonies of a Gaelic choir, to the grace of Highland dance and the energy of ceilidh dances, with friendly demonstrations to guide first-timers onto the floor.
Formal attire is required — tartan, military dress, or evening wear — as we honor heritage, camaraderie, and the enduring legacy of Scottish history and culture.
