Red carpet event for the 38th East Coast Music Awards at Centre 200's Main Concourse, pre-registration only.

The glam red carpet event at Centre 200's Main Concourse kicks off the 38th East Coast Music Awards festival in Sydney, Cape Breton — ECMA is where Atlantic Canada's music community comes together to celebrate, connect, and discover what's next. The five-day festival turns the city of Sydney into a giant stage, filled with high-energy award shows, intimate artist showcases, songwriter circles, and plenty of opportunities to discover your new favourite band. A rare chance to rub shoulders with East Coast music's brightest stars, the red carpet sets the tone for one of Canada's premier music celebrations right in the heart of Cape Breton.
