Hi Tina, 

Thank you for reaching out to Ask an Islander! There will be Canada Day festivities happening all across the Island, but here are a few that I am sure that you will enjoy! 

The capital city of Charlottetown starts the day with a 21 Gun Salute at Victoria Park at noon, live music, Tastes of Canada (and Beyond), and ends the day with a spectacular display of fireworks! 

Souris starts with a flag raising at noon and cake! Activities all day at CN Park, live entertainment, BBQ, a boat parade of lights and the fireworks finale at 10:00 p.m.

North Rustico celebrates at Seawalk Park. Activities happening from 8 a.m.– 10 p.m., with the Street Parade starting at 10:30 am. Live entertainment starts at noon with a great line up all day and evening. Vendors and children's activities and fireworks to end the day! 

Have a great time wherever you end up!

Valerie

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?
