When will the leaves change colour on Cape Breton Island? 🍂🍁 It’s the #1 question we get asked at this time of the year!

The peak dates are impossible to predict but, typically our peak season for colour ranges between October 10th - 23rd with still some colour after their peak times before the leaves fall. Those beautiful fall colours arrive at different times across the Island so, we have created an infographic to help guide you in your planning!

For more tips and FAQs, visit: cbisland.com/blog/fall-for-cape-breton-faqs/

Stay tuned for our LIVE leaf watch video posts throughout October as we keep you up to date on where leaves are showing colour around the Island!
