When is the Acadian Festival and in which area?

Good afternoon;

Thank you for reaching out to Ask an Islander about the annual Acadian Festival. Although the 2026 dates are not yet published, I can tell you that it is always hosted during the last weekend of August. You can find some details at www.expositionfestival.ca. All events take place in Abram-Village from the festival grounds at 1745 Route 124 along the North Cape Coastal Drive in western PEI.

You may also be interested in learning more about PEI's Acadian History & Culture and Festival Route 11.

I invite you to download our 2025 visitor’s guide. You can always stay in touch by signing up for the Tourism PEI newsletter, which includes details on other upcoming festivals and events and recipes too!

Have a great day!

Verna Lynne
