The Antigonish Highland Games are the longest running Highland games in North America. All that and genealogy, too. Aug. 4 . Old-fashioned country picnicking at its finest. Drive to Earltown then ask anyone how to get to the picnic.
Visitors begin to gather in the late morning and many linger until dusk.
All are welcome. Proceeds of the Pipers Picnic are derived solely from the sale of home-cooked suppers and are used for the beautification and maintenance of the three pioneer cemeteries in Earltown. Donations are gratefully accepted and, if desired, can be designated for one cemetery. The Bicentennial project celebrates the arrival of the original eight Acadian families and chronicles the 200 year history and progressive development of the community of through to the present day. Family reunions for Doucet, Bernard, Chaisson, Richard, Gaudet, Poirier, Desroches and Arsenault.
