Discover the Fortress of Louisbourg, located on Cape Breton Island, where costumed animators bring an 18th century fortified town to life!
Smell the baking bread, dance to the music on the waterfront, feel the ground tremble as the cannon is fired, see the blacksmith at work in the forge and enjoy an authentic meal in our on-site restaurant.
