Join Mary Saulnier for another year of piping at Point Prim at sunset.
Every Sunday evening in July and August, Mary will play her bag pipes as the sun sets over the Bay of Fundy.
Mary Saulnier of Digby is a beloved local figure known for her tradition of playing the bagpipes at sunset near the Point Prim Lighthouse. This serene ritual has become a cherished part of the community’s cultural landscape, offering both locals and visitors a moment of reflection and connection to the area’s rich maritime heritage.
Point Prim, located just outside Digby, Nova Scotia, is renowned for its historic lighthouse and breathtaking coastal scenery. The current lighthouse, constructed in 1964, stands as the fourth iteration at this site since 1804. Its striking red and white vertical stripes make it a distinctive landmark at the western entrance of Digby Gut, a narrow channel connecting the Bay of Fundy to the Annapolis Basin.
