Doryman Saturday Ceilidh
Weekly Saturday-afternoon fiddle session in Chéticamp.
A Cape Breton institution every Saturday afternoon at the Doryman Pub & Grill in Chéticamp. Top-name fiddlers and pianists perform 2-6 PM in an authentic kitchen-party atmosphere.
What to expect
Packed tables, foot-stomping, kids dancing in front of the band, French and English mingling. Order chowder and a pint of Big Spruce and settle in.
Highlights
Guest fiddlers are often visiting Celtic Colours headliners. Step-dancers hop up unannounced.
Plan ahead
Arrive by 1:30 to get a seat. Cash for the cover. Park in town; the Doryman is on the Cabot Trail through Chéticamp.
Why go
No staging, no setlist — just the Acadian-Gaelic crossover that makes Chéticamp's music scene singular.
