Friday Night in the Ceilidh Tent

We’re bringing some of the top names from Scotland, Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and of course New Brunswick to the Ceilidh Tent this year!

Our Friday Night Ceilidh kicks off with a traditional session hosted by New Brunswick’s own Christine Melanson, who will also wrap up the night hosting an unplugged jam you won’t want to miss!

Paul McKenna is one of Scotland’s busiest exports, being hailed by the New York Times as “the best folk band to have come out of Scotland in the last twenty years.”

Drowsy Maggie is a trio of New Brunswick powerhouse traditional musicians, featuring Shelley Chase, Stacey Read, and Robin Ettles.

Miller, MacDonald, & Cormier blend Scottish lowland pipes, Cape Breton fiddle, Gaelic song and stepdance, and Acadian guitar and foot-percussion from PEI.

Three Finger Shot will ensure those who want to sing along to raucous favourites get their chance to belt out the tunes before we need to unplug for the night.

Advance tickets now available!
