Pei's Shelfish Festival & Downtown Exploration

OVERVIEW

Spend hours enjoying the Prince Edward Island International Shellfish Festival, an annual event that celebrates all things seafood related with a special focus on local specialties. On the enlightening walk to the venue, you will pass landmarks that the guide will describe in fascinating detail. Once you enter the festival, you will be free to wander about on your own. Depending on the day that you attend, you might watch celebrity chef challenges, an oyster-shucking contest and culinary demonstrations featuring mussels and oysters sourced from the waters surrounding Prince Edward Island with Celebrity Chef Corbin! Favorite local bands will perform live on the main stage nearly every hour. If you wish to dine at the festival, head for the Shellfish Pavilion. PEI oysters, mussels and lobster rolls are on the menu for you to purchase, as well as non-seafood choices.
