FUN FACTS
“The Mont-Carmel Summer Concert Series is, quite honestly, a pearl among the riches of Prince Edward Island. The series and its organizers grandly succeed at showcasing the proud Acadian culture of the region as well as featuring other distinguished artists who, together, highlight the world-class talent here in the Maritimes. On top of this, Christian Gallant and his team understand the value of thinking forward, ensuring the series also gives the artists of tomorrow the opportunity to shine, thus, building stronger ties within the community and beyond. In an economy where delivering high-quality art (live performance, visual or other mediums) is increasingly difficult, the Mont-Carmel Summer Concert Series stands out as a community leader and justly deserves its recognition and financial support.”

“A true showcase of world-class talent with quintessential Acadian hospitality, the Mont-Carmel Summer Concert Series should be on every summer to-do list for Islanders and visitors alike.”
“It's always such a treat for us to play at the Mont-Carmel Summer Concert Series. We've been lucky to be included in the line-up for several seasons now and it's always a highlight of our summer tour. Such a wonderful sense of community and support for local and international artists, a true gem in the musical landscape of PEI.”
