Signature Events - A season of Festivals & Events

In spring, things really start to ramp up on the Island; the Ceilidh at the Irish Hall begins in May, and the College of Piping hosts the annual Highland Gathering. From here, it is pretty well non-stop party time until October, so be sure you are ready for an entertaining vacation when you plan your Island visit. Besides all the wonderful annual events, watch for some newer exciting events such as: Fall Flavours in September; the Jazz & Blues Festival; and the Cavendish Beach Music Festival featuring Keith Urban, Taylor Swift and many more artists. Search for events for the dates you will be visiting for the most current info.
