PEI's second city — Celtic culture, a lively harbour-front boardwalk and the gateway to the western drives.
School of bagpiping, drumming, fiddle and step dance, with summer classes, concerts and ceilidhs celebrating PEI's Celtic roots.
Provincial gallery and museum with rotating island art and heritage exhibits.
Modern 520-seat theatre hosting concerts, comedy and musicals on the downtown waterfront.
An octagonal light on a reef in Bedeque Bay, walkable at low tide for the adventurous.
A Summerside sweet-stop favourite dishing creative, ever-changing ice cream flavours from a farm barn. Expect generous scoops, wild flavour combinations and a lineup on warm summer evenings.
A paved waterfront promenade past cottages and dunes with views over Bedeque Bay — flat enough for strollers and bikes.
Harbour-front cluster of outlet shops and food vendors beside the marina and cruise berth.
Saturday market packed with island produce, baked goods, crafts and ready-to-eat lobster rolls.
Handheld pies baked with Island ingredients to fuel adventures - savoury Bacon Cheeseburger or Curried Chickpea, sweet Strawberry Rhubarb or Apple Cinnamon. The Albany bakehouse runs year-round, with a seasonal Cavendish cart.
Carefully curated crafts from select island artisans on Summerside's doorstep - fabric art, apparel, soaps and candles, custom woodwork, pottery, music and upcycled gift ideas.
Wilfred Thompson has spent forty years perfecting his craft - his Summerside workshop shows a fine selection of unique, quality wood pieces, and watching him work is half the visit.
