***IMPORTANT UPDATE!***
Location Change for
Storytelling on the Skye River Trail • Sunday, Oct.4
Our final festival event, Storytelling on the Skye River Trail, has been relocated due to damage caused by flooding on the trail. The new location is just a couple of minutes away, beside the We’koqma’q band office, at 150 Reservation Road.
You’ll see signs and volunteers on arrival to guide you to the right place (and if you miss this message and head to the Skye River Trail, we’ll have a volunteer posted to help you find your way to the new site).
We’re so sorry for the change, but look forward to spending a beautiful bright October afternoon with you at this new site, among the wonderful storytellers, writers, and cultural interpreters who will be gathering with us there…
October 2 to 4, 2026
Once a year, in wild, beautiful Unama’ki (Cape Breton), writers and readers come together and experience the magic power of stories to connect us and create community.
