  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. 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
  3. The critically-acclaimed PEI Festival of Small Halls will be back with music, dance and storytelling at rural venues across the Island.
  4. Experience the harness racing tradition with live racing beginning in May. 

5. Go clam digging

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

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