Wondering where the best place to stay is? Want to research my ancestry in Charlottetown, enjoy the sun and explore all things Anne of Green Gables. Possibly thinking around the time of the Celtic Fair.
Hello, Colleen,
Thank you for your question to Ask an Islander!
There are a plethora of fantastic places to stay on the Island. Considering you want to research your ancestry in Charlottetown, I'll link you to our official tourism page for accommodations in Charlottetown. The capital city of the Island is home to beautiful hotels, inns, motels, and other lodging. Some of the best places to stay in Charlottetown include The Quality Inn & Suites, The Arts Hotel, and The Holman Grand Hotel. The Celtic Fair will occur on North River Road from August 8th - 10th, 2025! You are bound to experience warm weather, beautiful sunshine, and sunny sights during this time in August!
Regarding Anne of Green Gables, I recommend visiting our Anne of Green Gables Tourism Website. Also, there is an official Anne of Green Gables Itinerary Guide you can follow. An Anne of Green Gables play/musical typically takes place in Charlottetown during the summer; Lucy Maud Montgomery's birthplace is located in New London. Meanwhile, the house Anne ficitonally lived in and inspired the books is in Cavendish.
I hope you find all of the ancestral familial information you are looking for during your stay on the Island! I hope you enjoy the pretty sights, unlock Anne's mysteries and origins, and uncover Charlottetown's beauty!
Warm and best regards,
Bret MacCaull
