Summerside, known as Prince Edward Island's second city, is currently developing its potential as a tourist destination. With quaint shopping areas, excellent live theatre at Harbourfront Jubilee Theatre, and a growing variety of stores and restaurants, the area is rapidly earning the attention it deserves. There are excellent accommodations in the area, and several heritage and cultural sites worthy of a visit. These include both the Eptek National Exhibition Centre, one of Prince Edward Island's best museums and galleries, the heritage houses of Wyatt Heritage Properties and the College of Piping, a world-class institute focusing on training in the Celtic and Highland arts. The school is also home to Summerside's Highland Gathering, an annual event involving highland sporting events and music and dancing competitions.

+ My Favorites
Charlottetown has a population of 33,000. It is reminiscent of a colonial port.
In 1864 the Fathers of Confederation convened in Charlottetown for meetings that led to the foundation of Canada in 1867. This took place at Province House National Historic Site. Next to this is the modern Confederation Centre of the Arts which is a national memorial to the Fathers of Confederation. Here is home to the annual Charlottetown Festival.
The downtown skyline is dominated by the three spires of St. Dunstan's Basilica. Ardgowan National Historic Site was home to W.H. Pope one of the Fathers of Confederation and very indicative of the 19th century style. Beaconsfield is another restored heritage home, overlooking the harbour.
