Gaelic Nova Scotia Month

The Power of our Songs

May is Gaelic Nova Scotia Month.  In the Gaelic calendar, May month is the beginning of the summer season. 

As Gaels are a Nova Scotia people with a richness of cultural expression: poetry, song, music, dance, stories, foodways, lineages, spirituality and customs, many Nova Scotians have connections to Gaelic heritage.
