Mother’s Day in Ingonish
For generations, mother’s day weekend has marked a symbolic awakening of businesses on Cape Breton Island and Ingonish as families across the region engage in the annual tradition of taking mom “Out for a bite to eat” for Mother’s Day.
It’s truly an exciting weekend, many restaurants and businesses that have been closed for the winter open their doors and we all rejoice for the diversity and opportunities. In many regions, the holiday also coincides with the opening of lobster season, so whether mom wants a hot turkey sandwich or a “good feed of lobster”, there is a “choice to be had” this weekend.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, may your weekend be as special as you are!
What we’re up to
Cape Smokey is taking this time to beautify the property in anticipation of our opening day on July 1st. We want to make the space more green to compliment the views and make it look more like home with flowers, trees and shrubs at the entrance. There will be many things to do at Cape Smokey this summer from riding the gondola and taking in the views, to hiking, kayaking and looking for wildlife. We can’t wait to welcome you!
