Shared from our Festival Chair, Dr. John Menzies – Alan Reid is a long time friend of the Robert Burns Celtic Festival. Some may remember his visits to Camperdown to perform with The Battlefield Band!
While not an official festival event, we are excited to have Alan returning to south west Victoria and are happy to share the event with our followers. His concert is not to be missed!

All Hallow's E'en is here! As you seek either trickery or treats today turn your mind to our festival icon Robert Burns.
Robbie witnessed Halloween as a time for coming together, seeking connection & embracing the superstitions and folklores of his beloved home.
His poem 'Halloween' elaborates on how the mind tricks us into to being spooked! From 1785 to 2026, this still holds true.
Only 3 months until we celebrate his birthday with music, highland dancing, poetry, pipes & haggis. Save the date Sunday 31 January 2027 as we explore the great Burns together.
An excerpt from HALLOWEEN – Robert Burns
Upon the night, when fairies light
On Cassilis Downans dance,
Or owre the lays, in splendid blaze,
On sprightly coursers prance;
Or for Colean the rout is ta'en,
Beneath the moon's pale beams;
There, up the Cove, to stray and rove,
Amang the rocks and streams
To sport that night
(A link to the full poem, shared by the Robert Burns World Federation, is here: www.robertburnsfederation.com/poems/translations/halloween.htm )
Wishing everyone in our community a happy Halloween!
–Thanks to an anonymous friend of our community who volunteered to author this post for us all to enjoy. 🙂
