Maritime Trail
The Maritime Trail is a project of Home Routes/Chemin Chez Nous, presenting Canadian and international artists to audiences in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. The Winnipeg-based house concert network was inspired to bring its formula to the Maritime provinces after attending Nova Scotia Music Week in 2017. After the conference, Home Routes put out a call for hosts in order to create a community of house concerts in the region. The call was met enthusiastically by Maritimers, and the Maritime Trail was born!
