Music, Arts & Culture

With such a diverse ancestry—Acadian, Scottish, Mi’kmaq, African, Irish and more—it's no wonder Cape Breton is so celebrated for its rich heritage. Music, culture and visual arts take centre stage in our lives, and the signs are everywhere. Enjoy a night of folk and fiddling, meet and appreciate local artisans, or grab a seat at one of our region's many theatres. The options are as diverse as we are!
