Lobster Suppers
During the summer lobster season (that changes depending on the region), tasty crusta-
ceans get boiled up en masse and served to hungry crowds with all-you-can-eat fixings
and pie for dessert.
Ceilidhs
Cape Breton is the capital of these foot-tapping Scottish music performances where most
people in the small communities participate, show up as audience and get up and dance.
While found year-round, you can find them nightly in July and August.
Canada Day
Canada's national holiday is celebrated throughout the region with parades, fireworks,
music and picnics. Many businesses shut in observance so make sure you have plans and
a picnic packed before the big day, 1 July.
Cavendish Beach Festival
Some of the biggest names in country music go to Cavendish, Prince Edward Island
(PEI), to play beachside while campers get their party on. This is one of the largest out-
door music festivals in North America and the island swells with people.
Indian River Festival
As an antidote to Cavendish partying, this festival from the end of June into October
showcases classical, jazz and world music in an acoustically sublime St Mary's Church.
The French Gothic architecture complements the beautiful music in a wonderful summer
experience.
Peak of Lupine Season
Lupine usually begin blooming in June but by July they cover hillsides, colorfully border
the highways and decorate home fronts. Purple is the dominant color but you'll also see
scatterings of pink lupine, especially in PEI.
