About this event
The Barra MacNeils - An East Coast Christmas Canada's first family of Celtic music begins their 2026 cross-Canada tour of this internationally beloved festive musical event on Vancouver Island, which will include Toronto's Massey Hall before their final show in Cape Breton, their home turf. Steeped in Cape Breton tradition with strong Celtic roots and musical artistry, this diversely talented family group of siblings sells out shows around the world, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest live acts in the Celtic world. Their captivating vocals, harmonies and extraordinary musicianship are famously featured in their Christmas TV specials which continue to be broadcast on CMT and PBS TV stations. Their numerous critically acclaimed recordings have included their own original songs as well as tried and true standards, both instrumental and vocal. They are 6-time East Coast Music Award winners, this year being honoured with the ECMA Lifetime Acheivement Award. Among the many icons they have performed with, they have been the opening act for Celine Dion. A traditional favourite, Barra MacNeils’ East Coast Christmas is a treat for the whole family. The five siblings are known for Friday, November 13, 2026 at the Mary Winspear Centre, Sidney. Start time not published by the venue — check the venue listing before you go.
