Located at Prince Edward Island's
narrowest spot, Summerside is considered the province's second city after the
capital, Charlottetown.
As such, the city combines both the attractions and liveliness of a major city
without being overrun by tourists. Quaint shopping districts, the famed Jubilee
Theatre, many beautiful beaches and a variety of restaurants make Summerside
worth a visit. Centrally positioned on the island, Summerside makes a terrific
base from which to explore P.E.I. as it is a gateway to the western regions
of the island, with both Confederation
Trail and Lady
Slipper Scenic Drive running through the area. The city is also home to
many festivals celebrating both its relationship with the sea and Celtic and
Acadian ancestry. The largest event is the Highland
Gathering and Celtic Festival. Held by Summerside's world-famous College
of Piping, the festivities include Celtic dance, sport and music competitions.
