Promoted as Canada’s Musical Coast, Inverness County has been lovingly described as “…a string of beautiful communities and majestic coastline vistas bound together by musical traditions. The music culture here is written into the story, written into the very fabric of the coastline. During harsh winters and trying times, music and dance were neither indulgence nor luxury, but rather survival. Music culture here is honest, authentic, and shared directly from the heart—this is a coast shaped by music.” The performers gathering on the musical coast for tonight’s concert will share their songs, tunes, and the very best of Cape Breton dance traditions. Belle Côte is located on the north west coast of Inverness county. The drive to Belle Côté, north through the scenic Margaree Valley or south from the Chéticamp area in the Cape Breton Highlands is well worth taking your time for.
