Canada’s Musical Coast
Coastal communities and boundless ocean views woven together by musical tradition. Honest, authentic and without pretension—this is a coast shaped by song, strings, and sometimes, even the spoons.
Set along the Island’s western coast, it’s home to world-class fiddlers, whole clans of musicians, folk artists, and inspiring landscapes. You won’t just hear it. You’ll see, taste, and be moved by its warmth.
Oh The Things You’ll See
Flying fiddlers and leaping Celtic dancers. Traditional Acadian dishes and centuries-old-songs. Painted sunsets and woven landscapes hung from gallery to museum. Salty boat breezes and crisp mountaintop air. Championship greens and a pub named The Red Shoe. You’ll see a lot, but experience so much more.
