The Saint Andrews Society of San Francisco is excited to announce the 160th Annual Banquet & Ball, a signature event known for its relaxed yet opulent and traditional evening celebrating Scottish culture. This year, the gala invites the society to partake in a night of philanthropy and celebration.
The evening will begin around 6 p.m. with arrival cocktails and entertainment, followed by a seated dinner at 7 p.m. Savor gourmet Scottish dishes, from haggis to clootie dumplings, prepared by skilled chefs and served with style and panache. Experience enchanting melodies with pipers, Highland dancers, and world-class fiddlers, celebrating Scotland's musical heritage.
The evening culminates in a spirited Ceilidh dance, where guests partake in the age-old Scottish dance tradition, forging unforgettable memories amidst the company of kilted and like-minded individuals.
Don’t know the steps? Scottish Country Dancing Caller Juliet Davoren will be on hand to help you out.
