Let the Festivals Begin!
It's showtime in Pictou County.........

Life and music in Nova Scotia are intricately entwined. Music is a reflection of our jubilations and a symbol of our sorrows. It is a part of who we are and what we do. It is our way of embracing each other and an opportunity to welcome others into the fold. The festivals in Pictou County celebrate our culture, heritage, music and dance all year long. That such festivals are so much a part of our daily existence makes them all the more important to share with you. To understand our celebrations is to understand our people.

Whether it is a Highland games, a cultural carnival, a music jubilee, or a hometown parade, a Pictou County festival is something you won't want to miss. The county's population grows when festival season begins, as everyone wants to come to the celebrations!

So come to the festival. There's sure to be a story you'll want to tell back home!
