About

From June 11–14, the festival brings together live music, storytelling, cultural experiences, outdoor adventure, and authentic local flavours. Set against the stunning backdrop of Cape Breton Highlands, Roots to Boots invites visitors to connect — with the land, with traditions, and with each other. It’s a place where cultures meet, community spirit thrives, and every note and every step tells a story.
