The Celtic Colours Music Festival. Its decentralization is what sets it apart from other music festivals.
Shows tend to be more intimate in smaller venues.
Plans for 2000 include shows in 35 communities. In addition to musical performances, those who attend can take part in workshops on Celtic culture or interactive events such as that held at the King s Bastion Chapel at the Fortress of Louisbourg that included an 18 th century candlelight dinner and a concert of harp music. In an international context, Celtic Colors, though only 4 years old is considered one of the top 3 Celtic music festivals globally. The others are held in Scotland and Brittany. McPhee points to kayaking trips and hiking.
