August 8, 2024

The tradition of Old Home Week is as rich and varied as the events and activities that make up the week itself. It is filled with tradition and innovation and a love for the excitement, challenges, exchanging of ideas, and ties between friends and family.

With more than 90,000 visitors in recent years, it has become the benchmark Island celebration by which all others are compared. World-class entertainment, an ever-more exciting midway and attractions are combined with the agricultural and family farm-based customs of years past, making Old Home Week one of the most anticipated events each year on Prince Edward Island.

Don’t miss any of these Old home Week staples:

Livestock & Horse Shows – Competitors and exhibitors from across the Maritimes come to Old Home Week every year to take part in the elite livestock and equine competitions. We invite you to enjoy these amazing shows, and embrace the pride of PEI farmers, athletes, and competitors.
