How to get to Nova Scotia
Come by boat, train, plane or road. Fly into and out of Halifax, or alternatively into Sydney and out of Halifax; then rent a car. When I travelled to Nova Scotia for a road trip adventure, I flew into Halifax and continued to New Brunswick, flying out of Moncton. Other transportation options to consider: the train on Via Rail, available from many Canadian cities, Bay Ferries – The Cat from Bar Harbor, Maine into Yarmouth, or sail the Bay of Fundy from Digby, Nova Scotia to Saint John, New Brunswick.
Cruise ships make Halifax and Sydney ports of call during summer and fall on their Canada and New England sailings and offer plenty of day excursions to explore the area. Sydney is the gateway to the world-famous Cape Breton Island and one of the most scenic drives in North America.

What is the best month to visit Nova Scotia?
The best time to visit Nova Scotia is from the end of May through to the middle of October. Many facilities are seasonal and close during the winter months. The summer months are warmer, but it is also peak season. Reservations for accommodations should be made well in advance for the best selection of properties. Travel in the fall is popular for seeing vivid fall foliage.
About the People of Nova Scotia
Indigenous People
There are 13 Indigenous groups represented in Nova Scotia. The Mi’kmaq have the largest population. Visit Goat Island to learn about the traditions of the Eskasoni First Nations Mi’kmaq on the shores of Bras d’Or Lake, an inland sea and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
It is important to note that the Mi’kmaq were one of the first Indigenous people to have contact with Europeans. The Mi’kmaq developed a strong relationship with the French and helped them fight the British and adapt to their new home.

Acadians of Nova Scotia
Along the Acadian Shores to Yarmouth, is home to most of the Acadian population of Nova Scotia. Both French and English is spoken by the majority of the residents. The first Europeans to arrive came from France in 1605, the Acadians settled in Port Royal (later known as Acadie) in 1605. In the early 1700s, their presence grew to several thousand. They are devoted Roman Catholics. The French also settled in what is now known as Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.
The Acadian population grew steadily for 150 years. They established parishes and built churches. When Nova Scotia was handed over to the British in 1713 everything started to change for the Acadians. Their churches were burned and finally in 1755 the lives they built were ripped away from them with the Grand Dérangement or Expulsion of the Acadians. They were removed from their homes and deported on ships to be scattered to other lands. Many exiled Acadians arrived in the New Orleans area of Louisiana, and through translation, the Acadians became known as Cajuns.
Since 1881, National Acadian Day is commemorated on August 15. Festival acadien de Clare is the world’s oldest Acadian festival. This year’s celebration takes place in Clare on July 29 to August 5 and the big festival on August 15, 2023.

Celtic Heritage
People from Scotland began arriving in the 1700s and by 1855, nearly 50,000 made the journey, which greatly influenced the culture of their new home. In fact, Nova Scotia translated from Latin means New Scotland. Many of the town names reflect similar names of those in Scotland, such as New Glasgow.
With the Celtic culture, the immigrants brought age-long traditions and values with them from the Scottish Highlands. This rich heritage is carried out through the language, customs, music, food and crafts. There is even a Gaelic College to teach all ages and skill levels the Celtic culture. The college also offers hand-made kilts and tartans.
What is the difference between Celtic and Gaelic?
Celtic means both Irish and Scottish immigrants to Nova Scotia. Gaelic is the language spoken by these people.
The Flag of Nova Scotia
The provincial flag of Nova Scotia is influenced by its Scottish heritage. The reverse colouring of the Saint Andrew’s Cross of Scotland, known as a Saltire, and the lion symbol represents the Royal Arms of Scotland.
The Nova Scotia flag shows the Scottish heritage of the area.
Black Culture
Black Nova Scotians make up the largest Black community in Canada. In 1605, the very first Black immigrant on record arrived with French explorers in Nova Scotia and in what is now known as Canada. Today, there are 52 historic Black communities throughout Nova Scotia.
In search of a better life, free Black Loyalists were some of the first to arrive after the American Revolution in 1783, but they were not given the same rights as other immigrants. In the late 1700s, 15 ships arrived from Sierra Leone, Africa. Then came the Maroons deported from Jamaica. They were followed by the refugees from the War of 1812.
The first race riot in Canada happened in Shelburne, Nova Scotia in 1784. Conditions were horrible and many left to go to Sierra Leone. Even after slavery was abolished in all of the British Colonial Empire in 1833, life was made difficult.
Caribbean immigrants came in the 1920s to work in the steal factories and coal mines of Cape Breton. In 1954, segregation ends in schools. By 1984, Canada’s first Black female mayor was elected. Then in 2006, the first Black woman, Mayann Francis, was appointed Lt. Governor of Nova Scotia.
Traditional Music of Nova Scotia
Music is everywhere in Nova Scotia. The venues are varied, from pubs, parks and restaurants, to outdoor concerts on top of the mountain at Cape Smokey, to what is known as a “kitchen party”or as they call it in Cape Breton, a ceilidh (kay-lee).
Kitchen parties are a unique rich cultural experience in the region. At a ceilidh, Scottish or Irish folk music is played. There is singing, traditional folk dancing, and storytelling.
To immerse yourself in this remarkable Canadian signature experience, plan to attend the annual Celtic Colours International Festival. The festival runs for nine days in October and features the best of Celtic culture with dancers, singers and storytelling. In 2023, there are 49 performances scheduled in 35 Cape Breton Island communities.

Finding the best Nova Scotia Food and Drink
What seafood is Nova Scotia famous for?
Nova Scotia is famous for its abundant fresh Atlantic lobster and its world renowned large sweet Digby scallops. There is fresh snow crab, mussels and Atlantic oysters, Saint Mary’s Bay soft shelled clams, fish cakes, Atlantic halibut, haddock, Atlantic salmon, Atlantic pollock, cold water shrimp and more.
Creamy seafood chowders are filled with generous portions of scallops, lobster and haddock like the one served at La Cuisine Robicheau, Saulnierville, on the shores of Baie Sainte-Marie in Clare.

Or try the Perfect Storm Lobster dish in Ingonish, Cape Breton Island at the famous diner, Coastal Restaurant. This impressive offering brings together a true taste of Nova Scotia. A half lobster and Cape North mussels circle the large bowl of rich, creamy homemade seafood chowder chock full of shrimp, scallops, haddock and salmon, then topped off with a generous portion of snow crab.

Be sure to seek out a seaside lobster boil on the beach. I tried the one at the Argyler Lodge and Restaurant on Lobster Bay on the Acadian Shores and it is an authentic experience that should not be missed.

Traditional Acadian Foods
While in Nova Scotia, these are some of the traditional Acadian foods to try from the southwest region. Every family adds there own special touch to each of these well-loved comfort food dishes.
Rappie Pie
This traditional Acadian dish is made with grated potato, onion, stock and chicken or clams, then baked until golden brown. The dish is sometimes referred to by the French word râpure.

Chicken Fricot
This hearty chicken soup with potato dumplings is plain and delicious. Some cooks will add onion, carrots and celery to their recipe.
Fring Frang
Fring fang is a fried potato pancake. Potatoes are finely grated, the liquid squeezed out. Flour, salt and baking powder and an egg can be added to hold the ingredients together. This concoction is then patted by hand to form into a flat pancake shape. The pancake is fried in butter until golden brown on both sides.
Wild Blueberries
Nova Scotia is the largest producer of wild blueberries in Canada. This berry grows abundantly throughout the province in the forests and fields. This superfruit, prized for its antioxidant benefits, is smaller and sweeter than other varieties and therefore has more skin per pound.
Oatcakes
Traditional oatcakes in Scotland have been eaten for centuries. They are usually a dry, crisp staple served at breakfast. The immigrants from Scotland adapted the recipe in to a simple, sweeter version and today it’s almost like a shortbread cookie with oats.

Wineries in Nova Scotia
In Canada’s oldest wine region, salt air and ancient seabeds provide ideal conditions to produce award-winning wines that are unique and distinctive. Nova Scotia’s wine industry has come a long way since the 1611, when the first grapes were planted. With 23 wineries and counting, in five distinct regions, Annapolis Valley, East and West; Cape Breton Island, South Shore and Northumberland, it continues to flourish. All vineyards are within 40 miles of fresh coastal breezes.
Annapolis Valley has the highest concentration of wineries and vineyards and is home to Jost Vineyards Tidal Bay, Nova Scotia’s signature wine. It’s light, crisp and cool and pairs perfectly with lobster or any seafood.
Here is a winery map for area.
