Good morning Mary Ann;

Thank you for reaching out to Ask an Islander about visiting in winter. Live music and performances, outdoor activity and our coastal drives make Prince Edward Island a great winter destination.

The month of December is especially magical with city streets and small towns all decked with festive decor.

The small village of North Rustico is famous for this reason!

If you haven't done so already, sign up for the Tourism PEI newsletter which will provide details on winter festivals and events and packages are they become available.

We hope to see you this winter!
