Saturday Afternoon Ceilidh at Governors

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!

Tap your toes to fiddle tunes at a Ceilidh. See authentic Acadian crafts at Les Trois Pignons. Take a piece of Mi’kmaq culture home with you at a drum-making workshop. On Cape Breton Island, culture is all around you just waiting to be explored!

Get Your Heart Pumping with these extreme and active adventures! Try your hand at windsurfing, go whale watching, hop on a jet ski, fly in a helicopter, and more.

June on Cape Breton Island is when music fills the air, feet find rhythm on wooden floors, and communities come together in celebration of culture, heritage, and shared joy.

Come late November, when parts of Canada begin to be blanketed with snow, Cape Breton wonders if Mother Nature has forgotten her. Not a chance. Winter on Cape Breton Island is inevitable.

Cape Breton Island is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, and when winter descends, the island transforms into a wonderland of snow-covered trails, frosted trees, and serene vistas.
