Nova Scotia’s rich history is reflected in its Arts and Culture institutions and events.
Nova Scotia’s multicultural society is recognized and celebrated through its cultural spaces. Music, food, song, theatre, art and cinema all capture and express the Nova Scotian spirit.
So, if your interest lies with its people, there are places to explore the history of the Mi’kmaq, the Acadians, Black Loyalist and Empire Loyalists. Experience a day in the life of an Acadian at the Acadian Village in Pubnico. Learn about the Black Loyalists and their impact on our culture. However, if for you, culture is best represented by its manifestation in the arts, there are galleries, theatrical performances and live musical events to attend. Take a trip to the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia or watch a play or performance by one of our talented local musicians at the Osprey Arts Centre, or the Chester Playhouse.
The suggestions below are just a small sampling of what is available in the local area.
