There will be a bit more than a touch of Irish as Cape Breton and Ireland meet in Lower River. Friends will re-connect as they find the songs and tunes they share while we get to watch and listen.

Cow Bay Ceilidh
Tonight will push the boundaries of a ceilidh. Three young groups cover all the bases of song, tunes and dance, but beware the youthful energy. It’s catching.
Songs of Work and Protest
Cape Breton has a long history of mining and labour struggles. Tonight the current generation brings us songs created today from a bygone era. The famous Men of the Deeps show their approval in spades.
Acadian Reunion
Acadian traditions meet the reunited Brakin’ Tradition tonight for some great music from both genres. It’s a reunion filled with fun and nostalgia.
Close to the Floor
If you have an appetite for dance we have a feast for you tonight…Cape Breton steps, close to the floor, Irish sean nos, Highland and Metis jigs, so fill your boots!
Festival Club
Located at the Gaelic College in St. Ann’s, the licensed Festival Club offers an opportunity for artists to showcase in a more informal setting, as well as get a session in with friends and colleagues from near and far.
Orangedale Whistle
This picturesque wee church heard many a train whistle in days gone by. Tonight it will be serenaded by songs and guitar tunes from down the road and beautiful strings from Denmark.
Open Stage at the Bras d’Or Yacht Club
An informal afternoon for players to share tunes and songs. Bring your instruments. Listeners welcome.
