Picture the bustling French fortress town of Louisbourg on a Friday night in the mid-1700s. Singing and laughter spill out into the streets as villagers gather at the various pubs, restaurants, and taverns. Conversation mingles with music over a meal served on pewter dishes. Music drifts through the open window of the tavern on the corner while lively tunes draw dancers into the hall to fill the floor. Experience it all for yourself at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site as the restored fortress town comes back to life for one unforgettable night. This one-of-a-kind night on the town starts with an 18th century meal, then carries on into the cobblestone streets for music, dancing, and good times. As you travel from one reconstructed stone building to another, guided by villagers with lanterns, you’ll find music everywhere—songs in French, English, Gaelic, and Mi’kmaq, and pipes and fiddle tunes for toe-tapping and dancing. Bring comfy shoes and a sweater. This unique experience is in high demand so don’t miss out!
