Celebrate the colours, flavours and fun of fall as the Summerside Pumpkin Festival returns for its 20th edition, October 15–30, 2026!

Organized by La Belle-Alliance with support from community partners, the festival has been bringing people together since 2007 and has become a favourite fall tradition in Summerside.

Over two weeks, residents and visitors can look forward to a variety of activities celebrating the season, with programming for families, foodies, music lovers, creative minds and fall enthusiasts.

This year’s festivities are expected to include favourites such as Culture Summerside’s Historic Ghostwalk, family storytime, creative workshops, games, themed evenings, live music, culinary activities, pumpkin decorating and more.

The Summerside Pumpkin Festival also celebrates the culture, creativity and diversity of Summerside’s Francophone and Francophile community, while inviting everyone to come together and enjoy the beauty of autumn on Prince Edward Island.
