This summer concert series is held Tuesday nights from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM in the air conditioned Mabou Hall, right across from The Red Shoe Pub. It was established over twenty years ago by well known Cape Breton musicians, Karen and Joey Beaton. In 2019, Mabou based musicians Derrick and Melody Cameron became the new hosts. These ceilidhs feature some of Cape Breton’s finest traditional musicians and step dancers. Come enjoy some good tunes and step dancing, a few stories and maybe even a square set! All ages welcome!
