One hundred thousand welcomes to Antigonish, where you can immerse yourself in a world of Scottish culture.
Antigonish is the Highland Heart of Nova Scotia, knitting its Scottish roots tightly into the community. The Antigonish Highland Games are the pinnacle of the calendar year as visitors, dancers, pipe bands and Scottish heavy-event competitors converge on the town for a week each July.
When the bagpipes skirl in the mist of Columbus Field, you know it’s summer in Antigonish.
Antigonish is also home to Festival Antigonish, rated one of the top five summer theatres in Canada by the Ottawa Citizen. The decades-old theatre festival offers more than 100 performances of a dozen different shows over two months, as well as theatre camps for youth.
Every October, the film world casts its eyes on Antigonish for the International Film Festival. The festival features documentaries from award-winning film directors. Compelling scenes and true stories will touch your heart and expand your mind.
Smaller organizations, such as the Antigonish Ceilidh Association, Theatre Antigonish and the Antigonish Review, keep culture alive throughout the calendar year.
Local attractions, such as the Cape George Lighthouse, Antigonish Heritage Museum and Chez Deslauriers, quench the thirst for historical learning. If you’re up for a longer day, head to Sherbrooke Village, an hour’s drive from Antigonish, and dive into another time period. Experience life before the 1900s in this village-sized interactive museum.
