Coal Dust Days is a beloved week-long community celebration in New Waterford, Cape Breton, held each July. The festival's closing fireworks display caps off a full week of events held at Colliery Lands Park, the festival's headquarters — a historic site on the former grounds of the town's coal mining heritage. A dazzling finale that draws locals and visitors alike for a brilliant send-off to one of Cape Breton's most spirited summer festivals.
