Mi-Carême Interpretive Centre
we are the only interpretive centre in Canada dedicated to the whimsical tradition of Mi-Carême (Mid-Lent)!
We carry the celebration with us throughout the year, sharing it with all who visit, and we have experienced guides who cannot wait to tell you more! We encourage you to immerse yourself further in the experience with one of our workshops, or join us Sunday evening for local music and dance!
Did you know that...
Begin your journey
with the art of disguise - the true fun behind Mi-Carême! Our Mask Workshop allows you to create a mask all your own and bring your imagination to life. An interactive souvenir you can both play with and admire.
Next, visit our museum, enjoy local folkart, and wonder at our wall of masks!
Relax and breathe in the sea air
with friendly and spirited entertainment. We love hosting year-round events where you can expect laughter, local music & artists, and delectable Acadian tastes - savoury
and sweet!
Then let your love for the sea and salt air nourish your creative spirit with our Ocean Creations Workshop,
the view is breathtaking!
Prepare to be
inspired by the skill and knowledge that has been handed down for genereations in all art forms, true gems of Acadian heritage! It is our mission to delight you with local craftmanship, storytelling, and all things both past and present. The Acadian spirit is ALIVE and thrives in Grand Étang and Cheticamp, so be sure to grab a memento or treasure before you go and take a piece of us home with you.
