OVERVIEW
Watch a captivating performance of live music and storytelling while dining on mussels, one of the most characteristic dishes served on Cape Breton Island. The stage is just a few steps away in the Royal Cape Breton Room in the cruise pavilion overlooking the dock. How fitting that Sydney’s iconic 50-foot-high Celtic fiddle is right outside as Buddy MacDonald, a renowned Celtic singer and musician, will provide the entertainment. Sydney is known as a hotbed of Celtic music and Cape Breton Island-born MacDonald one of the genre’s most celebrated artists. He has toured all over the world but performing on the island is among his favorite venues. While listening to his original music and entertaining stories, you will learn about the local history, coal mining and fishing. During the performance, you will dine on steamed mussels and garlic toast accompanied by a flight of local craft beers and hard ciders.
