Father John Angus Rankin Memorial Concert

Long-running outdoor concert in Glendale honouring Fr. John Angus Rankin, who championed Cape Breton's Gaelic music tradition. Fiddlers, pipers, step dancers and Celtic singers.

What to expect

Field concert format, picnics welcome, multi-generational crowd. The Rankin Family connection draws fans from far afield.

Highlights

Massed-fiddle finale. Often a Rankin family member drops in.

Plan ahead

Tickets at the gate. Glendale is 20 min off the highway near Port Hastings; stay at a Port Hawkesbury hotel or Mabou inn.

Why go

A tribute that's stayed faithful to its roots — the music Fr. Rankin loved, played the way he loved.
