The beauty of Gros Morne National Park not only attracts visitors but has become home for many artisans, musicians, and performers, all inspired by the allure of this World Heritage site.

By night, enjoy music and theatre in the most gorgeous of settings.
Port aux Choix is rich in archaeological remains that tell us about the ancient cultures and how they used the bones, stones, and hides in their tools, clothing, artwork and spirituality. A passionate local artist and storyteller exemplifies how everyday materials are transformed into folk art.
A hidden gem of tapestry and a fascinating history await on the French Shore of the Northern Peninsula. As you walk the now quiet trails imagine the French voices from the hundreds of fishing boats that once filled these now seldom visited coves.
Viking Territory! Immerse yourself in the life of a Viking. Reenactors sing and tell tales, while carrying out the daily routines of the Vikings. From forge to cooking pot there is much to see and learn.
On remote Quirpon Island the lightkeepers of old kept the light burning and mariners safe in all weathers. Now the restored Quirpon Lighthouse Inn is a welcoming haven where you can relax in comfort as you watch whales herd fish against the rocks to feed, with gannets divebombing the water around them. A nearby cove was once a thriving community and site of a tragic mass murder.
