Tunes on the Town is a live music series taking place in downtowns throughout Cape Breton Island this summer and early fall. See some of Cape Breton Island’s finest performing artists, along with some of our emerging talents. And every show is free!
While going to one of the shows, be sure to spend some time in the town before and after the show. Grab a bite, visit the shops and maybe even stay for the night.
