Nova Scotia Gaelic Mod is an annual folk festival, held every August in the Cape Breton region of Nova Scotia, Canada. It features many traditional Scottish games, dances, costumes, and food specialties. The whole of eastern Nova Scotia turns up for Sword Dances, pipe bands, athletic events, and general celebration of the region's strong ties to Scotland and Scottish culture.
