NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR Town Square Days July Located in southeastern Newfoundland, off the Avalon Peninsula, is Bell Island, named after the bell- shaped rock, found on the west end. Every summer the community commemorates the former glory of the Old Town Square by storytelling, 1950s jive dan- cing, drinking root beer floats and inviting some spe- cial guests such as Skinny Santa, the Easter Bunny, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Bob the Builder and more. There’s an open mic session and giveaways for the children as well.
NEW BRUNSWICK Akadi Lumina May to October
At nightfall, the woods of Pays de la Sagouine in Bouctouche, New Brunswick turns into the immersive Akadi Lumina light and sound experience. The 1.5-kilometre foot path is decorated to pay homage to Acadian (des- cendants of French settlers who arrived in Atlantic Canada in the 1600s) culture. Created by Montreal-based Moment Factory, the multimedia entertainment studio has established other Lumina installations around the world including in France, Japan and Singapore.
