Welcome to the CMIC

Join us for lively tunes and great local food & drinks! The Celtic Music Centre is a not-for-profit society and a one-of-a-kind facility located in the tiny village of Judique, Cape Breton Island.

The mission of the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre is to celebrate and foster the Celtic Music and Heritage of Cape Breton Island as a living tradition, through Archival Preservation, Education and Performance.

Whether you visit for an hour, a day, or a week, don’t miss this key stop along beautiful Route 19. Discover why music and dance are at the very heart of Cape Breton Island’s captivating past and lively present.

We have plenty of parking, including oversized vehicle parking and EV stations.
