Step into the spirit of Prince Edward Island’s vibrant Acadian French culture and heritage in the Evangeline Region. Whether you’re a music lover, history buff, culinary connoisseur or outdoors adventurer, there’s something here for everyone, so buckle up and bon voyage – you’re in for quite a ride.

Set the scene with a visit to the Acadian Museum, in Miscouche. Get a quick history lesson covering the almost 300-years of the Acadian’s French presence on the Island. Follow with a tour of the Bottle Houses in Cap-Egmont, where more than 25,000 colourful recycled bottles are ingeniously cemented together to create a charming set of buildings.

In Abram-Village, take in a raucous kitchen party while experiencing the Acadian’s joie de vivre, featuring step-dancing accompanied by traditional fiddle and guitar music. There’s always a dinner theatre, festival, frolic or event featuring two Acadian staples: fiddles and vittles. From July to August you can experience authentic Acadian culture with daily toe-tapping music, great food and interesting inter-active activities at Village Musical Acadian.

Around the corner, Abram-Village Handcraft Co-op features distinctively Acadian crafts passed down from generation to generation. Expect to find knitted hats, mittens, sweaters, quilts, pottery, woodcarvings, paintings and other one-of-a-kind treasures made lovingly by skillful hands.

Before leaving the region, take in the endless sublime seascapes and sink your toes into the powdery-soft sand with the backdrop of an historic lighthouse.
