To say that music is woven into Cape Breton’s cultural heritage is somewhat of an understatement. For centuries, the isle’s inhabitants have shared songs about everything from their homeland to everyday life. In modern times, one of the best ways to celebrate these longstanding traditions is to come together for singing and dancing at Cabot Shores for the Cabot Trail Acoustic Festival on March 18th.
As we’ve discussed, the Celtic Colours International Festival is an exuberant celebration of Cape Breton’s rich cultural heritage buoyed by musical performances, singing, dancing, and storytelling. Unlike other festivals, visitors to our beloved island can expect to find several distinct venues to enjoy this iconic gathering. With nearly 50 concerts and over 200 community events, this unforgettable experience promises to leave a lasting impression. Here’s why Cabot Shores is the perfect place to call home during the Celtic Colours International Festival.
