Celtic Colors International Festival, Cape Breton Island in Canada, October. This is the largest festival of its kind in North America. The festival is a cultural event of Celtic roots and music, full of concerts and cultural events. The Cape Breton Celtic musicians are one of the finest in the world. When several hundred years ago the first Scots came to Nova Scotia, they brought their Gaelic culture and traditions with them, which today they try to keep alive. You can still hear the ancient dialects in the villages. At the Mabou village you can experience Gaelic signs and Scottish traditions of music and dancing. The festival is spread throughout the island with concerts in different towns. This encourages visitors to travel the island and see the beautiful colors of the trees in autumn.
