We love spring, not only because lobster season kicks off, but it also marks the beginning of our festival season. Here are some great events and adventures to check out on Prince Edward Island from late April to June. 

1. Watch the fishing boats return to harbour in the early afternoon with their catches of delicious Prince Edward Island lobster. Dine at a traditional lobster supper at Fisherman's Wharf or New Glasgow Lobster Suppers or buy yours fresh from a fisher at the dock and prepare yourself.
2. Experience the harness racing tradition with live racing beginning on May 2nd.
3. Sample ice cream from one of the most than 65 dairy bars across the province. Find the most delectable homemade scoops at COWS and Holman's Ice Cream Parlour.
4. The critically-acclaimed PEI Festival of Small Halls will be back with music, dance and storytelling at rural venues across the Island.

5. Tulips around every corner along Points East Coastal Drive in late May. Visit a tulip u-pick farm in Belfast.

6. Go clam digging. 

7. Cycle the Confederation Trail or hike one of our many community trails.

8. Play a round (or two) of golf at one of PEI's finest courses with many open by early May. 

9. Snuggle new baby farm animals at Alexander and Darlene's Farm Haven, Beach Goats, Brudenell Miniatures, Island Hill Farm, Orwell Corner Historic Village, Venture Stables or Whispering Hope Farm.

10. Walk uncrowded beaches; enjoy early sunsets.

Red dirt roads and freshly tilled fields make Prince Edward Island one of the most picturesque spring destinations.
