Things to Do

Culture and heritage abound on Cape Breton’s Heritage Coast. The region’s Scottish, Irish, Acadian and Mi’kmaq heritage are centuries old and still thriving. The history of sailing ships and shipwrecks, fishing and seafood influence today’s traditions. Visit our historic St. Peter’s Canal, museums and churches, take a leisurely walk on our scenic trails, cycle or kayak to a lighthouse destination or build a custom sand castle on one of our world-class beaches.
Join us for our lively festivals and events in July and August where we host community gatherings, kitchen parties, and sailboat races. September brings music and Fall fairs. October hosts the renowned Celtic Colours International Festival. Let November’s Festival of Trees get you ready for the spirit of the winter season.
It is our pleasure to share these special events and places with you.
