Molson Canadian Nova Scotia Music Week is crossing the causeway for the first time and heading for Cape Breton Island. The festival will take place in Sydney, Nova Scotia from November 7th to 10th. With over 100 artists playing on multiple stages, Molson Canadian Nova Scotia Music Week is one of the largest music festivals in the region.

Music Nova Scotia executive director Scott Long sees the upcoming edition of Nova Scotia Music Week as an important milestone for the organization. According to Long,

“Cape Breton Island is one of the most important music destinations in the world. Nova Scotia Music Week is about celebrating the music of our province and to say we are excited about hosting the event in Sydney would be an understatement.
