Editing Pictou County (section)

==Culture==
There are two performance spaces in the county: the deCoste Centre in Pictou and Glasgow Square in New Glasgow. Both host local musicians and events, including the Festival of Summer Sounds series at the deCoste and the New Glasgow Riverfront Jubilee in August at the Glasgow Square.

Many of the towns and villages host their own parades and events throughout the year. Read By The Sea is an annual literary festival held in the village of River John. The New Scotland Days Festival in Pictou each September is a celebration of the county's Scottish heritage. Pictou also hosts the Lobster Carnival every July since 1934. It was voted the best festival in Canada.<ref>{{cite web|title=2016 Lobster Carnival|url=http://www.townofpictou.ca/visitors-guide/festivals-and-events/2014-lobster-carnival/|website=Town of Pictou|access-date=June 1, 2016}}</ref> New Glasgow's Art at Night is an annual one night art event in downtown New Glasgow.
