The article explores the celebration of Mi-Carême, a centuries-old Acadian tradition, in the Îles-de-la-Madeleine region of Quebec, Canada. Mi-Carême is a mumming tradition where costumed revellers go from house to house, enjoying food and drink while disguising their identities. The article highlights the cultural significance of Mi-Carême to the Acadian community and describes the festivities, including the traditional homemade wine called bagosse. It also discusses the history and geography of the Îles-de-la-Madeleine, which is known for its fishing industry and connection to Acadian heritage. The article emphasizes the importance of togetherness and passing down traditions from one generation to the next. [Extracted from the article]
