The Caladh Marque, located at 27 Creighton Street, Pictou is a transformed waterfront venue that serves as a hub of exciting activities and performances throughout the Pictou 2023 festivities.

The Caladh Marquee with stage and seating capacity of 350 is surrounded by a vibrant waterfront atmosphere including a Love Local Vendor Village, art installations, play structures, various seating options, fire pits, and public washrooms, all situated along the picturesque harbour's edge.

The successful realization of the site is a testament to the power of community partnerships and the strategic support received from Build Nova Scotia. Financial support was provided by the Nova Scotia COVID-19 Response Council at Dalhousie University, which was funded by the Province of Nova Scotia.”
