Fall might just be our favourite time of year to walk along Summerside’s Baywalk Boardwalk 🍂

The waterfront is a little quieter, the colours are at their brightest, and the crisp sea air makes every step feel a little more refreshing.

Between the colourful trees, squirrels darting across the path, and birds busy among the branches, there's plenty to appreciate along the way.

So grab a coffee, bring your favourite walking buddy, and make some time to explore the Baywalk this fall ☕

When was the last time you took a stroll along the boardwalk?

🍂 5 reasons October looks good on Summerside ✨

October is giving us plenty of reasons to make plans, grab a friend and get out of the house.

🎨 Get creative at Art Buds | 329 Water St.

Lean into spooky season with a Halloween Floral Pumpkin Acrylic Painting Workshop on October 23, or spend an evening creating your own miniature Halloween candy bucket at Tiny Treats on October 30. A fun excuse to get crafty with friends and leave with something you made yourself.
🎟️ https://www.artbuds.ca/creative-workshops

🧘 Make time to unwind with Smooth Yoga with Greg | 293 Water Street.

Greg’s Autumn Wellness Series is all about resetting for the season. Choose from Aroma Yoga, Reiki Infused Yoga or Yoga Touch and settle into a warm, relaxing session designed to help release tension and leave you feeling refreshed.

🧇 Treat yourself to a warm waffle at Holman's Ice Cream Parlour | 286 Fitzroy St.

Cool October days call for something warm. Stop into Holman’s for one of their warm waffles, ranging from $10.50–$15, and turn an ordinary fall afternoon into a pretty delicious one.

🎭 Plan a night at Harbourfront Theatre | 124 Heather Moyse Dr.

Add a little mystery to your October with Mysteries of the Keyhole House. If you’re looking for something different to do after dinner or an excuse to plan a night out, this one belongs on the calendar.

🍔🍕 Try the October specials at Famous Peppers & Crafters BBQ - Summerside | 110 Water St.

Come hungry. The Mo Cheddar Mo Better burger stacks two PEI beef smash patties with cheddar, dijonaise, a crispy potato and chive patty and apple bacon relish. Or warm up with The Rough Rider, a Southwest-inspired pizza topped with BBQ pulled chicken, red onion, banana peppers, chipotle black bean and corn medley, and a taco sauce swirl.

So... which October plan are you picking first? 👇
