Trailerbikecamper, we like the music festivals, especially if there is onsite camping. Dry camping is fine by us. We have done a bunch of varying sizes. Don't like the really big ones. Big names don't impress us much. Canso is on the possibility list. There is a Highland Games Festival a week later near Pictou and another festival in Shediac which may be worked in. A night on Georges St, St John seems to be a must do for the Irish music.
Lots of time to research. I tend to go at it then forget it for weeks, then do another research binge.
