Baddeck Gathering Ceilidhs: Dara Smith-MacDonald & Adam Young

The name “The Baddeck Gathering” Ceilidh came from a popular fiddle tune of the same name that was recorded by many Cape Breton musicians including Winston Fitzgerald, Howie MacDonald, Johnnie Wilmot and the late Charlie MacCuspic to whose memory the Baddeck Gathering Ceilidh is dedicated.

Admission includes tea and locally baked oatcakes. Cash only. Reservations recommended. Showtime 7:30pm
