Yes around here Burns Supper is kiltie night, with everyone's utmost Highland finery on display. The one I played at last night was like that. Men not in kilts in suits or even tuxes. Women quite formally dressed.

But every year I also play at a Burns Supper which is an informal gathering in a restaurant/pub. Kilts are there, but people leave their Prince Charlies at home.
