Feature Concerts & Events on PEI

IN SPRING, things really start to wind 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 activities such as: Fall Flavours in September; the Jazz & Blues Festival; the Cavendish Beach Music Festival featuring Keith Urban and many more artists; garden concerts and even a ceilidh on the water! New at the Charlottetown Festival this season are the Broadway productions Hairspray and Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story. The listings here are just a taste of all the Island activities you will have to choose from. Be sure when you are visiting to pick up the Island's free entertainment paper, The Buzz, which is packed full of events schedules and all the most up-to-date details. And of course, check with your host for the inside scoop on any hot entertainment deals.
