Visiting PEI in early October and looking for fun local events, such as a ceilidh. I understand these are in multiple locations throughout the Island. Can you give specific locations during our time to visit?

Good morning; 

Thank you for reaching out to Ask an Islander.

Please take a look at our list of Ceilidhs & Kitchen Parties. Keep in mind that this page is a work in progress, as communities continue to provide us with summer schedules every day at this time of year. Please check back in a week or two for a more accurate listing. 

In early October, great festivals and events continue with our signature Fall FLavours Food & Drink Festival, Charlottetown Scarecrow Festival, Inside The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald at Harmony House and many others. Be sure to check out our calendar of events.

If you haven't done so already, download our 2025 visitor’s guide or pick up a hard copy when you arrive at the airport or any Visitor Information Centre. You can always stay in touch by signing up for the Tourism PEI newsletter, which includes details on upcoming festivals and events and recipes too!

Have a fabulous vacation! Thank you for choosing Prince Edward Island.
