About

Set along the Cabot Trail in St. Ann’s, the Gaelic College offers visitors a chance to explore the language, music, and living traditions of Gaelic Nova Scotia. Tour the Great Hall of the Clans museum, take in live cultural demonstrations, and browse locally made crafts and gifts in the on-site shop.

Year-round, the College comes alive with ceilidhs, concerts, and community gatherings that share the warmth and spirit of Cape Breton’s Gaelic heritage. Each July, it proudly hosts KitchenFest!, the island-wide celebration of traditional music and culture.

Open seasonally for visitors. For hours and event details, visit gaeliccollege.edu.
