Past-Port Summerside

Past-Port Summerside is honoured to have been the recipient of a 2025 Heritage and Culture Award for Heritage Activities!

A special thanks to everyone who attended the Mayor’s Tea & Heritage and Culture Awards, all the friends and family who have helped along the way, and everyone who has attended Past-Port Summerside's tours! I wouldn't be here without your support!

When Past-Port Summerside first opened, I couldn't have imagined what a fantastic response it would get. Our history really has an amazing way of bringing us together, and I am glad to have been able to share the stories, locations and people from the days-gone-by of the 'sunny side' of the island. 🎩

Unfortunately, due to the forecast of rain this afternoon, as well as the heat warning, our afternoon tours today will not be going forward. Needless to say though, this rain is much needed! 🎩🌧

08/13/2025

Due to the continued heat warning, only the 10am tour will be going forward today. 🎩☀️ With these frequent heat warnings, perhaps this Summer will beat the record for the hottest recorded in Summerside; the current record holder being the Summer of 1944, with 10 days being 30 degrees plus!

08/12/2025

Unfortunately tours will be cancelled today due to the ongoing heat warning. Please keep cool and remain hydrated! 🎩☀️
