Chéticamp, a beautiful Acadian village nestled at the foot of the Cape Breton Highlands and rocked by the waves of the Gulf of St. Lawrence!

Its essentially Acadian inhabitants welcome you in a friendly atmosphere that reveals their pride and joy in life. This year 2010 commemorates the 225th anniversary of the settlement of Chéticamp on the world reknown Cabot Trail.

This summer, Le Festival de l’Escaouette in the Chéticamp area is better than ever before. From concerts and parades to “Un suête dans la Cabane” and « Soleil », there’s a lot to enjoy in Chéticamp this summer.

No other community on the Cabot Trail boasts such a diverse collection of offerings in the arts and culture sector: from folk art to fire crafts and gifts to cultural performances in dance, music and theatre, not to mention entertainment found in local bars and venues. Make sure you refer to the Chéticamp Visitor’s Guide for the schedule of events of Le Festival de l’Escaouette.
