Fall on Prince Edward Island - The Season We All Love
Summer and winter get most of the attention. They have the extremes: hottest and coldest weather, biggest crowds, best holidays, fireworks and parades. But they also have us wishing it were just a bit cooler. Or a bit warmer. A little less crowded. A lot more affordable. We want to be active, but at our own pace. With time to think, and just be. Secretly, we long for fall. Interesting that a season called Fall would be the time when we seek to regain our balance. If there were a Fall Olympics, it would feature walking, not running. Exploring, not racing. Savouring, not devouring. And it would be held in Prince Edward Island.
On the Island, the land and sea offer bountiful feasts and unlimited culinary possibilities. Fall Flavours is the perfect way to discover the source of our local foods and beverages, and to see how they’re prepared and served. It’s also your chance to participate in the process–and of course, taste the results. Choose from more than 130 events, including Farm Day in the City, Organic Harvest Meal, and the Handcrafted Ales & Wine Festival. Take part in interactive workshops to learn about pickling and preserves, or the art of cheese-and-wine pairing. Join chef Michael Smith for the Taste Our Island Roving Feast.
Affordable autumn - Everyone needs a vacation, and a vacation deal! The economy is not in the best shape, and we’re all trying to be more careful with our money. That certainly includes vacation expenses. But with increased financial stress comes an even greater need for ways to relax, restore, and reward ourselves. There’s no better time and place to do that than fall on Prince Edward Island. Hotels and cottages are offering unbeatable rates and vacation packages. We have a wide variety of shops and restaurants in every price range. Our golf courses have green fees much lower than you might imagine. And our tranquil days, stunning views, and dazzling colours are all free. Maybe you can’t afford to miss PEI in the fall!
Become inspired - The dictionary definition of inspire is to inhale deeply. It also means to animate, enliven, and invigorate. What inspires you? Is it the ocean’s relentless waves? Dunes quietly shifting in the breeze? A long, delicious dinner at a country inn? A glass of wine on the porch, or an evening filled with traditional fiddle music? Maybe what inspires you is the chance to be alone, with yourself, or someone you love. On Prince Edward Island, you’ll find the activities you need to feel animated, enlivened, and invigorated. As well as plenty of time to just relax, and enjoy our sweet, fresh air. Inhale deeply.
