Centre de la Mi-Carême

This place will probably be interesting only for kids and people interested in this theme. They have a lot of masks and some "theatre vibe" here, and some souvenirs to buy. A workshop to paint masks and do something with your hands. And this place has a small cafeteria and big parking zone. I am not that kind of person so I won't put this place to the first place of my wish-list next trip to Cape Breton, but if you have kids, you can try this place... why not?

We had no idea what Mi-Carême was when we stopped in. The staff were quick to share the history with us and we purchased some cute locally-made crafts. The photo-ops are perfect and there's a cute little beach within walking distance.

Such an interesting place! The lady working here was very informative. The displays and artifacts are very interesting and well done. We didn't know anything about this place or the holiday and loved learning about it. They also have a back art room where you can paint masks, rocks, driftwood, etc. Lots of handmade items in the gift shop.

Loved this place. I recommend everyone to visit this hidden gem. Everyone were so friendly. I have 3 year and 5 year old and they were busy for half n hour doing painting the mask activity. They also provided some hidden gems around the town to visit.

We went to the mask making workshop for all ages during the August long weekend festival. It was a lot of fun and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Incredible! Beautiful museum of masks from the Acadian tradition of Mi-Careme. Everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable. It has a gift shop and an area where kids can make their own mask. This is definitely recommended if your in the area.

Surprisingly learned a lot of unique local traditions from this little gallery. Lots of cool artifacts!

If you are heading to Cheticamp,NS this is a MUST stop and visit spot. A neat and unique (costume) representation of Acadian culture and a nice café (that serves excellent espresso)
