Festivals & Events
Musique de la Baie / Music by the Sea
Thursday, July 1st - Thursday, September 30th - Call For Times
Join us nightly in July, August and September in participating restaurants for “the kitchen parties,” featuring local musicians, songs and stories.
Yarmouth & Acadian Shores is renowned for its vibrant and unique music. Many famous Canadian musicians come from this area, and musical expression is seen as a cornerstone of local culture. Maritimers are known for fiddles romancing us with soft melodies and then exploding into jigs and reels that shake up the desire to dance, sing, or pick up an instrument and join in the fun. In fact, Acadians have their own special word for this—a good party with lots of music is referred to as a “tyme.”
At a Musique de la Baie kitchen party, expect just that—a kitchen party. Informal performances and interactions with the audience are key, and you might even be invited to join in. The traditional and original compositions make for wonderfully diverse repertoires, which in turn keep the performances fresh and entertaining. Entertainment will take place in both French and/or English, depending upon which local community you are in.
