Louisbourg, Nova Scotia
Point of View RV Park 7/25-28

The Fortress of Louisbourg- is celebrating its 250th anniversary of the 2nd and final siege between the French and the British. This evening under heavy fog there was a “A Parade Through the Centuries” military from 1750’s to present day army. Each started from opposite ends of town and met in the middle and marched down to the water together and met with the British Army who fired 5 shots from the cannon. There are over 1000 costumed re-enactors they come from all over the world to participate and become the town residents. There will also be a re-enactment of a night-time siege with 18th century fireworks.
