The name “The Baddeck Gathering” Céilidh came from a popular fiddle tune of the same name that was recorded by many Cape Breton musicians including Winston Fitzgerald, Howie MacDonald, Johnnie Wilmot and the late Charlie MacCuspic to whose memory the Baddeck Gathering Céilidh is dedicated. Kyle and Colin MacDonald are brothers from Inverness, Cape Breton, who deliver a lively sound and showcase a variety of Gaelic traditions. From an early age, the brothers were steeped in music from both sides of the family and eventually began playing music together with Kyle on fiddle and Colin on piano. Tickets are on sale at the door between 5 and 7pm. Admission includes tea and locally baked oatcakes. Cash only. Reservations recommended.

Not interested in camping? Why not try glamping? Stay in a Mongolian Yurt or a luxury geometric dome, sleep out in the stars or watch the ocean from your cliffside accommodation.
Whether it’s a slow drive along the old Route 205, an afternoon of golf, or a day spent hiking a nearby trail, the main thing to do in Baddeck is to take the time to enjoy where you’re at.
One of our favourite parts of this hike is the sound of the river beside you as you wander through the forest and see the stunning mountains of the Highlands around you.
Looking for a great way to spend your long weekend on Cape Breton Island? Chéticamp will wow you! Let two local ambassadors, Jeremy Smith of CB West Paddle Boards and Napoleon Chiasson, one of our Acadian cultural ambassadors, guide you!
The Island Wide Waterfall Weekend is a weekend to get up and get outside. Cape Breton Island will be bustling this weekend as visitors and residents are encouraged to join us as we travel to 12 different waterfalls across the Island!
The North Highlands Nordic Ski Club (NHN) was founded in 1977 by a small group of enthusiastic cross country skiers who shared a love of winter and of the splendid scenery in the Northeast Highlands Area of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.
When we think of waterfalls, the image that comes to our mind is tropical pools, cascading water, peace and calmness. But come winter, these waterfalls turn into a completely different scene. We have rounded up our favourite winter waterfalls.
It’s time to find the heartiest, homemade meal on Cape Breton Island this winter. Our Island offers many options to chase away the chill.
