The Saturday, Jan. 25 dinner is already sold out, but there are stilltickets available for Friday, Jan. 24. The band has sold out both nights every year for the past 15 years.

The evening features a prime rib dinner, including the traditional toast to the haggis, a dedicated single malt whiskey bar, highland dancing, singing, and dancing to The Earthmen until the wee hours.

The event also includes performances by the world famous, well-travelled Delta Police Pipe Band, which has performed at such prestigious events as the Edinburgh Tattoo and the Basel Tattoo in Switzerland as well as on stage with Sir Paul McCartney.
