Greetings from Prince Edward Island!
 
Late August is a great time to visit PEI. Summer will be in full swing until Labour Day weekend, so there will be lots of fun things to do.
 
I suggest you visit the Tourism PEI, Festivals & Events PEI, Discover Charlottetown and Explore Summerside websites to see everything that will be happening while you’re here. 
 
Also, be sure to check out The Buzz – that’s how locals stay up-to-date on community events and local art, music, theatre, film and much more.
 
The Charlottetown Festival has a fantastic summer line-up (I highly recommend you book your tickets in advance, as we’re expecting a very busy summer – I’ve already booked my tickets for Tell Tale Harbour in mid-August!).
 
I hope this information is helpful. If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Asked: I will be visiting Souris in early July 2024. I would love to take in a traditional lobster boil ( if that’s the correct wording , with the potatoes and corn and sea food ). Is there a local area known for offering this?
