Esteemed Cape Breton singer-songwriter Buddy MacDonald has been entertaining audiences for more than 45 years. The 2022 East Coast Music Association (ECMA) Stompin’ Tom Award-winner has entertained audiences throughout Canada, the United States, Germany, Scotland and the Scandinavian countries and his songs have been performed and recorded by artists around the world. Buddy was host of the late-night Festival Club at Celtic Colours from 1997-2022 and in 2023, his iconic song, “Getting Dark Again”, was inducted into the Cape Breton Music Industry Hall of Fame. Whether in a small country hall, pub, festival or concert theatre, Buddy’s love of writing, singing and entertaining comes across to bridge the gap between performer and listener.

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.
The Cabot Trail is known as a true riders paradise. If you’ve already decided you’re riding the trail, here are a few tricks & tips you’ll need so your trip is as smooth as the pavement on the Cabot Trail!
There are so many hiking trails with phenomenal views in Cape Breton that it’s difficult to narrow it down to 5.

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!
