Make it a “Celtic Night Out” Saturday With the Scottish American Society
The Scottish American Society of the Quad Cities presents a Celtic Night Out of music and culture on Saturday, July 17, from 6pm to 10pm at 
the Riverfront Grille, 4619 34th Street, Rock Island.
The event features appetizers by Riverfront Grille and live performances by the Quad Cities own bagpipe band, Black Hawk Pipes and Drums, along with the Barley House band, performing Irish, Scottish, and American music with Celtic roots.
Admission includes appetizers, a wee bit of haggis, and all entertainment. Cost is $25 at the door. Children 11 and under will be admitted free with a parent.
Since gathering restrictions cancelled the traditional Scottish-American celebration of Scottish poet Robert Burns birthday in January, the event is also a great opportunity to raise a glass to “the immortal memory” of Robert Burns as the poet laureate of Scotland. If you don’t know Burns, think again: he created Auld Lang Syne, Tam O’Shanter, and My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose, now commonplace in song and story. Neither a kilt or Scottish American Society membership is required to attend the event (though it’s a great excuse to pull out the tartan if you have such a thing!)
