Festivals & Events
There’s always something to celebrate on PEI! We invite you to take in the many
festivals and events that are held across the Island throughout the year.
Join the fun at the Festival of Lights, the largest Canada Day celebration east of
Ottawa. Feel the rhythm at the PEI Jazz and Blues Festival, the Bluegrass and Old
Time Music Festival or the summer-long Indian River Festival which attract thousands
of music lovers every year. Savor the bounties of land and sea at one of the many
harvest celebrations: St. Peter’s Wild Blueberry Festival, Summerside’s Lobster
Carnival, O’Leary’s Potato Blossom Festival, and the International Shellfish Festival are
just a sampling of the many annual events in communities across the Island. Say
farewell to summer at the Old Home Week Exhibition and prestigious Gold Cup and
Saucer race. Find a bargain at the 70 Mile Coastal Yard Sale or see an artisan at work
on the PEI Studio Tour.
There’s so much to do and see on the Island, you’ll be planning your next visit while
you’re still here.
