Step into a living tradition at the Centre de la Mi-Carême, nestled in the lovely harbour of Grand Étang right on the Cabot Trail. Here, you'll discover the vibrant and mischievous Acadian celebration of Mi-Carême, a unique mid-Lent festival where communities don elaborate masks and costumes. You can explore the colourful displays of locally crafted masks, learn about the history of the celebration, and even try your hand at painting a mask of your own in a workshop. It's a wonderful, hands-on way to connect with one of the oldest and most joyful Acadian traditions.
