The Government of Canada enacted a law in 2003 to proclaim the day celebrated by the Acadians as a national holiday. This day reflects the identity of a people who overcame trials and persecutions with determination and courage. It underscores the cultural vitality and enduring heritage of the Acadian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, National Acadian Day is expressed in a festive, popular, and artistic way. It is a day to commemorate Acadian history and culture. At 5:55 p.m., thousands of Acadians across Atlantic Canada, Louisiana, the Magdalen Islands and France venture out during a boisterous and colourful parade that is called a Tintamarre, which is heard everywhere. The Tintamarre is a loud, proud, and exciting event that expresses the pride, vitality, and joie de vivre of Acadia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who would like to experience Acadian culture, you can visit the Historical Acadian Village of Nova Scotia in Lower West Pubnico, Nova Scotia. There is also the <em>Village historique acadien<\/em> in Caraquet, and the <em>Pays de la Sagouine<\/em> in Bouctouche, New-Brunswick, to name just a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UNE\u2019s Francophone Committee wishes you a great National Acadian Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UNE\u2019s Francophone Committee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Acadian Day is a celebration that began on the first National Convention of the Acadians in Memramcook on August 15, 1881.
