Island fun!

           Since 1988, islanders and visitors from around the world have come to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island’s capital city to take part in Old Home Week. It’s an exciting fair, that includes activities such as: amusement rides, a wide variety of exhibits, entertainment, agricultural competitions and the most famous Gold Cup and Saucer horse race. The race consists of highly skilled drivers and the fastest horses. You can cheer on your favourite horse or bet on the horses in the Casino to take home some extra cash for yourself. Following the races, which last throughout the week, Charlottetown takes pride in their Gold Cup and Saucer parade where 60,000 onlookers line down the streets. The parade is filled with dancers, bands, vintage cars and fun clowns. Old Home Week’s focus is honouring Prince Edward Island’s traditions and bringing excitement and fun for all ages!
