Bon
Ami Festival:
July 27 - August 5, 2007
The
Bon Ami Festival is the largest of all the festivals in
Dalhousie. Many who no longer reside in Dalhousie return
each year to take part in the numerous festivities. Family
and High School reunions have become a big part of the
|
| celebrations
and these continue to grow each year.
Activities
held throughout the Bon Ami Festival include a gigantic
beach party, market days, parade, pageantry, dancing,
sporting events, mussel boils, lobster dinners and one
of the most spectacular firework extravaganzas in
the Maritimes. |

Winterfest:
The Town of
Dalhousie annually celebrates winter with a weeklong festival
full of activities for all to enjoy. It's a time to step out
in the snow and take pleasure in our coldest season. A variety
of activities take place throughout the week that include;
an old fashion skating and walking party, street sliding,
dogsled rides, horse and pony rides and social evenings, to
name but a few.

During
the winter season, the beautiful Bay of Chaleur is frozen
over with ice. This is an essential detail in what has turned
into a North Shore winter past time; ice fishing. When the
ice is sufficiently thick, the locals become amateur fishermen
while relaxing in their shanties.
