Get ready for a shell of a time because the Summerside Lobster Carnival is just around the corner, from July 11th to 13th, and it’s packed with fun for the whole family!
A Celebration Rooted in History
Before we dive into the exciting events awaiting you at the carnival, let's take a moment to appreciate the rich history of lobster fishing on Prince Edward Island. Lobster fishing has been a cornerstone of PEI's maritime heritage for centuries. The island's pristine waters are home to some of the world's finest lobsters, making it a prime location for this age-old industry.
Lobstering on PEI began as a subsistence activity among the island's Indigenous peoples, who skillfully caught lobsters using traditional methods. European settlers, recognizing the abundance of this valuable resource, soon adopted and refined these techniques. By the late 19th century, lobster fishing had evolved into a thriving commercial industry, with traps and canneries dotting the island's coastline.
Today, PEI lobsters are celebrated worldwide for their exceptional quality and taste. The Lobster Carnival in Summerside is a testament to this enduring legacy, honoring the hard work and dedication of the island's lobster fishers and the communities that support them.
