Get away for a Nova Scotia festival. We have over 550 of them.

From cultural fetes like the Scottish Heritage at the Antigonish Highland Games to musical extravaganzas like the Atlantic Jazz Festival, Nova Scotia vacations with a festive edge abound.

During lobster season or the fall harvests, the unique regional gastronomy of many a Nova Scotia restaurant goes on display, while the 2nd annual "Discover the Wines of Nova Scotia Tour" highlights the province’s award-winning vineyards, including the famous ice wine, during the two-month fall wine tour.

Discover kilted regiments, highland games and highland step-dancing at several events and locations throughout the province as the International Gathering of the Clans takes place in communities from Annapolis to Arisaig. Or take advantage of a world-renowned annual Nova Scotia attraction—the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo in Halifax draws an impressive 60,000 visitors per year.

Experience the grand-daddy "ceilidh" of them all at the Celtic Colours International Festival; learn about our seafaring roots at the Mahone Bay Classic Boat Festival; be wowed at the Halifax International Busker Festival; savour the fall harvest celebrations at Wolfville's Pumpkin Festival; or explore the Nova Scotia Cabot Trail at Ingonish's Hike the Highlands Festival. Many a festive choice is yours.
