Summer is unquestionably Pictou County’s busiest season, with festivals, concerts, homecomings, celebrations and special events. Fireworks and family festivities entertain visitors and locals alike during Canada Day Celebrations in Westville from the end of June to July 1 and in New Glasgow on June 30. The strong Scottish traditions weave a common thread through many summer events, from the Westville Canada Day Celebration to the New Glasgow Riverfront Jubilee.
