Summerside Lobster Carnival

The 69th annual Summerside Lobster Carnival returns July 10–12 to the Credit Union Place Grounds with three days of activities, including the Summerside Lobster Carnival Parade.

The celebration of the beloved crustacean features free admission to the carnival grounds, though some events are ticketed. There will be an entertainment tent, the East Coast Amusements Midway, and a variety of culinary events, including lobster suppers, a community barbecue, culinary demonstrations, and taste testing with Chef Robert Pendergast.

Carnival-goers can also enjoy cash prize competitions such as the PEI Youth Talent Competition, a cardboard boat race, trivia, a lobster trap stacking competition for lobster fishers and crew, a biscuit and roll competition, a lobster eating contest, and a family amateur Country Music Singing Competition.

The Lobster Carnival also coincides with the biggest week of harness racing in Summerside, taking place July 13–19. Visit redshores.ca for details.
