Canada Day Parade, Westville, NS

Clan Thompson Pipe Band has made it a tradition to participate in our community's July 1st Canada Day Parade every year. Usually we make a massed band by joining other bands from our community including members from Na Gaisgich Pipes & Drum Band and Cadet Pipes & Drums. Come on out and enjoy the awesome sounds we add to the 

parade! 

Lobster Carnival, Pictou, NS

Since 1934, the Pictou Lobster Carnival has become a signature event in Nova Scotia. This three day festival celebrates the end of the lobster fishing season in the area, Maritime culture and music. Clan Thompson Pipe Band has enjoyed participating in the parade & concerts at this venue.

Judique Parade, Cape Breton, NS

Clan Thompson Pipe Band has been invited for a number of years to march in the parade of Judique on the Floor Days. It's a far smaller parade to be sure, but the organizers have always appreciated our participation. 

Sydney Mines Highland Games, Cape Breton, NS

Sydney Mines Highland Games Cultural Society has invited us to play concert style performances with them. We always enjoy taking in the day's events including sports, dance & music. The drive up is very breathtaking too!
