For one day each year, the quiet village of Pugwash transforms into one of Nova Scotia’s busiest Canada Day destinations. Thousands lined the streets Wednesday as the Gathering of the Clans celebrated its 75th anniversary, drawing visitors from across the Maritimes and beyond for a full day of parades, Highland dancing, piping competitions, live entertainment and community traditions. “It’s amazing, like unbelievable,” said event coordinator Christie Blackie.
