🎻🕺 On August 11th, we’re turning Chebucto Street into the world’s BIGGEST square dance — and you’re ALL invited!

Feel the stomp, the swing, and the soul of Cape Breton come alive as FestiVille Baddeck brings the party to the pavement from 5–9 PM — led by none other than Ashley MacIsaac and Front Porch Farm! 🤩

Fiddles will fly, feet will tap, and strangers will turn into dance partners as the music takes hold and the whole town moves as one. Whether you’re a seasoned stepper or just here for the fun, this is your chance to be part of a Cape Breton moment you won’t forget.

Don’t miss it — let’s dance in the streets!
