Sheep run through the streets, called home by the stable hand. Children play games in the streets, while the sentry at the gate challenges those who wish to enter the walled town. Music might be heard from a waterfront tavern. You can even fire a cannon or musket yourself by taking part in our 'Have a Blast' or 'Have a Ball' programs. The beat of drums and the chime of the garrison clock order the soldiers' day. Louisbourg's inhabitants are happy to share their stories, and can be found working the forge, tending the gardens and running the kitchens. With the rooster's crow comes bread from the ovens that supplies both soldiers and hungry visitors. Chores are the order of the day on summer and fall mornings. On summer feast days colour and pageantry break the routine of daily life as the townspeople promenade in their finery. A hot day shows the town and its various gardens at their brightest. A cold day with wind and rain may draw visitors to the warmth of a welcoming fire or to the cozy inn for a warming bowl of soup. A foggy day cloaks the site in mystery and creates scenes and images not to be forgotten. Peak season brings a different kind of magic on-site as costumed people add life to the streets and the homes. No matter the season, be sure to find out from reception what activities and experiences may be on offer that day. After Labour Day, the Fortress of Louisbourg winds down once again with costumed animators interpreting some buildings into September.
