Confederation Centre of the Arts
Feel-good musicals, contemporary art, live music or fascinating facts about the island’s history: you’ll find it all here. But make sure you schedule in enough time because you’ll be spoiled for choice.
There’s so much to discover on Prince Edward Island — spots marking significant steps towards modern Canadian nationhood and institutions that tell that story; the home of one of Canada’s First Nations where you can engage with the spirit of ancient Mi’Kmaq culture; and places of natural beauty. But that’s not all there is to experience — Prince Edward Island just wouldn’t be the same without Anne of Green Gables — its most famous fictional redhead.
