Acadian/Mi’kmaq Experience Tour

August 10, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 3:10 pm

Stroll along the shores where Acadians first arrived in the area on an Acadian/Mi’kmaq experience with internationally-acclaimed heritage interpreter, Alan Melanson, a 10th generation Acadian (of Candlelight Graveyard Tour fame). Meander down the thoroughfare the Acadians would have walked. See the fort which served as capital for both the French and the English. Go to the wharf where 1664 Acadians were deported from Annapolis Royal. Hear Alan’s amazing personal story of his ancestors’ deportation. Visit the site where the history book was written that was used as reference for the poem “Evangeline”. Retrace the renaissance of the Acadian culture. Discover the Cajun connection. Learn the secrets to making Rappie Pie.

Meet at the Lighthouse in Annapolis Royal.
