À propos

Celtic Colours International Festival is a celebration of music and culture that takes place each October across Cape Breton Island. Set against the brilliant colours of autumn, the nine-day festival welcomes musicians from Celtic regions around the world, including Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Brittany, as well as artists from Cape Breton’s vibrant communities.

With concerts held in communities all over the Island, audiences can enjoy unforgettable performances in settings that reflect the character and culture of the region. From historic churches to small halls by the sea, each venue offers a unique experience. These concerts feature both traditional and contemporary music, and often spark once-in-a-lifetime collaborations between local and visiting artists.

Celtic Colours is more than a music festival. It is a cultural experience that brings people together to share stories, food, art, and connection. Each day offers dozens of community events, including square dances, artisan demonstrations, guided hikes, storytelling sessions, and traditional meals. These gatherings are hosted by local volunteers and provide an authentic look at Cape Breton’s welcoming spirit and strong sense of place.

What makes Celtic Colours truly special is how it weaves music and culture into the everyday life of the Island. It is a festival that honours the past while inspiring the future. Whether you are a devoted fan of traditional music or discovering it for the first time, you will find something to enjoy. The nightly Festival Club invites artists to play in a relaxed setting and often becomes the place where unforgettable moments happen.

Celtic Colours International Festival is a time to celebrate heritage, build friendships, and experience the beauty of Cape Breton in its most colourful season.
