The Details

Originally launched to celebrate PEI’s agricultural heritage, Farm Day has become a signature fall event
and a catalyst for the downtown economy. By connecting locals and visitors with farmers, food
producers, artisans, and small businesses, it has helped elevate awareness of local agriculture, fostered
year-round purchasing relationships, and elevated Charlottetown’s reputation as a cultural/creative
hub. The event has also attracted marquee sponsors, including PEI Potato Growers, Cavendish Farms,
and the Dairy Farmers of Canada, whose support amplifies the festival’s impact and programming. In
2025, Farm Day in the City will focus on creating a more cohesive layout and enhanced visitor
experience. Vendors will be placed back-to-back down the center of Queen Street, providing better
visibility for brick-and-mortar busines. 18,000 attendees, with 25% from off-Island markets.

Farm Day continues to act as a catalyst for downtown vibrancy, inspiring businesses to align their
offerings with the event and fostering increased collaboration across sectors. By expanding
partnerships, improving infrastructure, and amplifying marketing efforts, the festival remains a key part
of Charlottetown’s fall tourism strategy and an anchor event within the Island’s broader agricultural
celebrations.
