Join the Scottish Society of Ottawa as we hold our annual New Years Eve event: Hogmanay Ceilidh 2025 - From the Streets of Edinburgh! This years venue is smaller than years past. With a capacity of 350, we are looking to bring the energy of the streets of Edinburgh on Hogmanay to our brand new venue in downtown Ottawa.

Early evening performances include dancers from the Ottawa Highland Dance Association (OHDA) and music by Celtic Folk Night Group (CFNG). They are a lively bunch of local entertainers led by Kevin Dooley - whistle, and include Charlie Gardner - guitar, Denis Lanctot - fiddle, Hazel Craig - fiddle, Greg Dauhns - fiddle, Brian Crowley - small pipes, Donald Macdonald - small pipes, Patrick and Dorothy Laplante - accordion and mandolin, and Cieran Dooley - bodhran.

Inspired by the festive energy of the original "Hogmanay" on the cobbled lanes of Edinburgh. This event will include an indoor street truck selling a hearty fare of haggis and other Scottish favorites at an additional reasonable price (Credit/debit only) to keep you dancing all night long. Don your tartan and join us for a ceilidh to remember!
