WATCH CELTIC COLOURS LIVE

Celtic Colours is an experience like no other. For nine days in October, Cape Breton Island is alive with music, energy and excitement as people come from far and wide to celebrate our rich culture. From concerts to dances and workshops to community suppers, we offer a full range of events against a gorgeous backdrop of autumn colours.

2018 Audience Survey

Celtic Colours, in cooperation with Cape Breton University, is conducting a survey this year to gather feedback, gain a better understanding of our audience, and the economic impact on Cape Breton Island. Please take a few moments to help us improve the Festival in coming years!
