The best time to see the fall leaves in Cape Breton

We are experiencing another beautiful fall in Nova Scotia. Today is the official opening of the Celtic Colours International Festival at the Port Hawkesbury Civic Centre. Celtic Colours is a festival that happens each year at this time and shows off Cape Breton to hundreds of tourists.

Some may say that one of the best places to take in the gorgeous fall colors in Nova Scotia is Cape Breton Island.

The official website for Cape Breton has put together a helpful “Fall for Cape Breton FAQs”

The FAQ’s includes this graphic that outlines when the colors should be at their peak.
