On 29 - 31 May 2024, Music Tourism Convention will travel to Cape Breton Island for its 6th global edition!

Although widely known for its beautiful scenery, Cape Breton Island is one of the most exciting music destinations of the world. A place where fiddles, Celtic melodies and Mi'kmaq beats harmonize, celebrating a cultural tapestry as vibrant as the island itself.

This makes it a perfect destination to host the Music Tourism Convention which will take place at Membertou Trade & Convention Centre, located in Sydney, Cape Breton Island.

 

Across 3 days of activities, 250 delegates will gather to learn, network and experience the best practices related to music tourism from all around the globe.
