Where the stars align

T here’s a bit of magic in Yarmouth & Acadian Shores. It’s quiet and peaceful, yet full of adventure. This is where the land meets the

sea. Where English and Acadian cultures coexist. And where the darkest skies let the stars shine their brightest. It’s where the food is fresh and local, and the music is too. It’s where everything comes together. It’s where the stars align.

This region is part of North America’s fi rst starlight destination—Acadian Skies and Mi’kmaq Lands—recently designated by the International Starlight Foundation. Here you can discover dark skies like nowhere else, with brilliant stars from distant galaxies shining against the night sky.

Located within the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve, this region off ers scenic coastal drives, quaint fi shing villages, and untouched land-scapes. The relaxed atmosphere coupled with the rich local culture allows you to enjoy all that the region has to off er at your own pace. This is a place to reset—there is no rush hour, no stress, no worry. This is where you can begin your Nova Scotia experience, exploring nature and culture with room to breathe.

Traditions, music, and food have been more than preserved here—they fl ourish. Pick up a phrase from our Acadian patois (dialect), check out Musique de la Baie, or stroll through the Town of Yarmouth’s Heritage District and experience unique Victorian homes. We love our culture, and invite you to celebrate with us.

Your New Favourite SongsMusic is a cornerstone of our local culture. Discover Musique de la Baie kitchen parties. Tap your toes to local talent while enjoying a delicious meal. (July 2 to September 2)
