Many a festive and eventful choice is yours in Nova Scotia! Take a scenic "water break" on the historic streets of Halifax during the Blue Nose Marathon (May 16 – 18) or make a couple of seafood stops on Cape Breton's Cabot Trail at Lobsterpalooza (May 25 – June 30). Join in the spectator
action for two very different races: one featuring international
teams sailing 35,000 miles across the world’s toughest oceans (2008 Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, June 9 – 15); and one hosting international teams unicycling across Nova Scotia for over 800 kilometres in five days (Ride the Lobster Unicycle Race, June 16 – 20).
Listen to the sounds of thousands of drummers and pipers at the world's largest annual indoor show, the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo (July 1 – 8); or groove to an eclectic smorgasbord of jazz, World Beat and blues at the TD Canada Trust Atlantic Jazz Festival (July 11 – 19). Experience life inside an 18th century town and fortress at Louisbourg Encampment 2008 (July 25 – 27), home of the largest historic reconstruction in North America; or celebrate Canada's largest oldest annual Acadian cultural festival Festival Acadien de Clare (July 26 – August 15).
Come see top performers from around the world, be it along the harbourfront at the Halifax International Busker Festival (August 8 – 17), or at dozens of Halifax theatres and venues at the 28th Atlantic Film Festival (September 11 – 20). If you're in search of traditional music, look no further than DRUM! (September 12 – October 12), which features the sounds of Nova Scotia's four founding cultures — Aboriginal, Black, Celtic and Acadian; or take part in the Celtic Colours International Festival (October 10 – 18), a unique Cape Breton Island-wide celebration of Celtic culture, and the largest of its kind in North America.
Come and taste how many ways succulent scallops can be prepared at Digby Scallop Days (August 7 – 10); or come and taste the artistry of some of the province's finest winemakers and chefs de cuisine during the Discover the Wines of Nova Scotia Fall Festival (September 5 – October 30). Whatever you require to satisfy your festival-and-event palette, Nova Scotia has it!
