Join us for an unforgettable Burns Supper in honor of Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns. In 2027, this cherished Caledonian Club tradition comes aboard the historic USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum in Alameda.

The Caledonian Club of San Francisco proudly celebrates the 268th anniversary of the Bard’s birth with an evening steeped in ritual, revelry, and remembrance. Guests will enjoy a traditional supper, stirring performances, piping, whisky, and toasts honoring Scotland’s literary and cultural heritage.
