CHARLOTTETOWN
The Island’s largest city, Charlottetown, has combined modern amenities with the preservation of its rich history to create a premier destination. On August 27 & 29, 2010 Charlottetown will be the location of the Red Island Run Motorcycle Rally for more infor check www.redislandrun.com.
Back in 1864, the Fathers of Confederation came to
Charlottetown to hammer out the details of forming a nation.
Many diaries credit the convivial atmosphere found with helping along the political debates that set the tone for the formation of a nation based on respect for culture and the individual citizen.
Charlottetown is still a place of celebration with festivals, theatre, sidewalk cafés, outdoor entertainment, and numerous pubs and nightspots to set your toes a-taping.
Enjoy the waterfront experience at Peake’s Quay with fun eateries, Founders Hall, marine, shops and seagoing vessels ranging from cruise ships to kayaks. Even tall ships drop by from time to time. It was here, in an area now preserved as Confederation Landing Park, that the Fathers of Confederation first came ashore.
This area of the city is steeped in heritage and history which comes alive all summer long through re-enactments, visits to Province House, Founders Hall and by walking the Olde Town where many historic buildings are restored to former glory. A continuous board walk helps you get the kinks out as it follows the shoreline to Victoria Park where a restored battery of cannon marks the spot where Yankee privateers kidnapped our Governor, back in George Washington’s time.
The Old Town offers an abundance of eateries, bars, clubs, attractions and shopping. Range further afield in the city for more modern malls and big box stores, and all services.

While they were here they were also entertained, wined and dined, and had a
high old time in this, Canada’s birthplace. The spirit of camaraderie that
reigned in the town was perpetuated by a rare visit by a circus. With these
grand goings on it is no wonder that Charlottetown, and indeed Prince Edward
Island gained a reputation as a great place to visit.
