Festival Fever is an initiative of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality Recreation Department to promote local festivals and events. Festivals abound throughout the municipality year round from international music and cultural events, sporting activities to heritage and community celebrations. Festival season offers a bit of something for everyone.

You’ll be enthralled with our scenery, culture and history and be warmed by the music, dance, food and the laughter.

Don’t fight the “fun” feeling! Check out our full calendar of events and join us for Festival Fever in the CBRM.

Non-profit groups are invited to list their Cape Breton Regional Municipality festivals or events on this website. Click on “Organizers” page on the side menu.
