Festival Acadien
The Festival Acadien takes place in the area every August, culminating on 15 August, the Acadian national holiday. Events include live theater,
musical performances, poetry readings and the very impressive Blessing of the Fleet. Every weekend throughout the summer months, you'll find a
variety of festivals that celebrate the arts-and-crafts community, as well as antique-car shows and a motorcycle exhibition.

Acadian Historical Village
This historical village features descendants of the Acadians, and tells the story of "le grand derangement," the English attempt to rid Acadia of its
French inhabitants.

Shippagan Aquarium and Marine Centre
Just east of Caraquet is the Shippagan Aquarium and Marine Centre, where visitors can learn about native marine species (look for the rare blue
lobster) and watch seals glide around in the outdoor tank behind the building.

Pope Grande Anse Museum
To the west, at Grande Anse, is the Pope Grande Anse Museum (the only one in North America). The details of the scale replicas of world-famous sites,
including St. Peter's Basilica and the Great Pyramid, will appeal to Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
