Bakeapple Season
Called 'cloudberries' throughout much of the rest of the world, this rare and delectable
berry is in full season by mid-August - then it's tossed liberally into pies and jam.
Digby Scallop Days
Celebrating Digby's massive scallop fleet, this five-day festival in early August lets you
try out different styles of preparation. Alongside it are parades, dances, car shows and
even a kids' pie-eating contest.
Miramichi Folksong Festival
Another superlative event, this is North America's oldest folk-fest set along its winding,
namesake river in New Brunswick. Expect a low-key family vibe set to the tune of fid-
dlers and singers with all the old folks getting up to boogie.
Royal St John's Regatta
Newfoundland keeps up the action with this rowing regatta, claimed to be the oldest
sporting event in North America, on Quidi Vidi Lake. St John's becomes a ghost town as
thousands head to watch and enjoy the sunshine.
September
Summer gets extended for a slew of music festivals, while the harvest of
food and wine is enjoyed to the fullest. Temperatures become more brisk
but the sun still makes regular appearances.
PEI Fall Flavours
Called 'the biggest kitchen party in Canada,' here you get your hands juicy with interact-
ive culinary demos, gorge on the best seafood in the world and enjoy two chowder cham-
pionships. Meanwhile there's live music, a widely regarded oyster-shucking contest and
chef challenges.
