Where to Enjoy Celtic Music this St. Patrick’s Day

Story by: Team Destination Cape Breton

St. Patrick’s Day is fast approaching and what good is celebrating this festive day without listening and dancing to Celtic music. Luckily Cape Breton Island is home to some of the best Celtic music out there. Let the fiddle get you out on the dance floor while you raise a glass to ol’ St. Paddy himself!
