The CMIC offers an in-depth look into the history, culture and music of Cape Breton Island and we are very proud to have been designated the “Official Celtic Music Centre of Nova Scotia” in 2013 by the Nova Scotia Legislature.
We offer year-round Ceilidhs with live traditional music, educational workshops in fiddle, piano and dance, Gaelic language immersion classes, a growing collection of archival materials and resource library, a recording studio, an interactive exhibit room, one-on-one music demonstrations with our in-house musicians, a full service restaurant and bar, a gift shop andonline store offering locally made products, music books, one of the largest collections of traditional music CD’s and more. We look forward to your visit!
