culture. Although only a few
musical and vocal groups
remain now, in the Big-Band
era, Digby and the
surrounding area boasted some
of the finest.
   Musical tastes may
change, but some pastimes and
traditions that pleased our
ancestors, such as hooking

rugs, carving, and pottery,
are still flourishing and
take centre stage at a
variety of Digby-area annual
fairs and celebrations.
