PEILiving Summer2017

"Past and present, we have many reasons to celebrate, and celebrate we will."

While you're in Montague be sure to stop into The Garden of the Gulf Museum at 564 Main Street. Housed in a historic sandstone building and located on a hill overlooking the river, the museum is in the former Post Office and Customs House. It was built in 1887 with stone quarried from the river and brick made locally by Robert Stewart. Prince Edward Island is noted for its cuisine and Montague won't disappoint. Whether you're looking for a light lunch or a relaxing dinner at the end of the day, favourites such as local seafood or home-baked goods - you'll find it here. We are also very excited to say that we will have two new craft breweries opening in the Town in 2017. One of the prettiest spots in town is the Montague Waterfront, a linear park located on Station Street on the north side of the Montague River. It consists of the Marina and “The Station”, which houses a visitor centre, gift shop, a café, and the office of River Run Dining Cruises. A pretty gazebo, lots of welcoming benches, and an entrance to Confederation trail round out this lovely park. If you're arriving by water, the marina can accommodate approximately 60 boats on floating docks with space for 30 more at the marina in Brudenell. Six to eight berths are reserved for visiting vessels. There are a number of shops, eateries and art pieces within walking distance to enjoy once you dock. There is free entertainment at the gazebo on the Waterfront many nights this summer, both music and outside movies. You won’t want to miss our two major festivals this year: July 14-16 - Montague Summer Days Cultural Festival (Music, ethnic foods, raft race, and the best fireworks on the Island) August 5-6 - Mussels and Mariners Festival (Antique boats, Dragon Boats, Culinary, Music, and more) This summer, the Town of Montague is the place to visit. The MontaguePEI app, which can be downloaded on your iOS or Android device, has more information on events and walking tours.
