There's always something going on!
Every season brings a new reason to gather, celebrate, and make stories worth telling. From immersive festivals that delight across generations to markets brimming with local makers, our events weave community, curiosity, and joy into the fabric of Shediac’s calendar.
Whether you’re a longtime local, a returning wanderer, or discovering us for the first time, you’ll find magic in every moment.
The Shediac Renaissance Faire
August 22nd & 23rd 2026

A bustling celebration of makers, creators, and colourful curiosities. The Bazar Neptune is part community market, part festival — a seaside gathering spot for local artisans, gourmet purveyors, whimsical wares, and inspired ideas.
What you’ll find:
- Locally-crafted art and gifts
- Small-batch food & drink
- Live music and beachside rhythm
- Kid-friendly arts zones and surprises
The Bazar is a community moment shaped by the people who call Shediac home and those on a tide of adventure.

Musical Evenings Le Moque-Tortue’s Patio
As the sun lowers and the lamps begin to glow, the patio at Le Moque-Tortue comes alive. Every evening throughout the summer season, live musicians take their place beneath open skies — from soulful acoustic sets to lively Acadien, folk harmonies, and the occasional unexpected delight. These are not “special events.” It’s simply how evenings are done here. What to expect:
Live music nightly during summer season
A rotating lineup of local and regional talent
Full bistro menu & curated drinks
An atmosphere that feels like summer was bottled and poured by the glass
Come for dinner. Stay for the music. Let the evening stretch just a little longer than planned. Reservations are recommended (click HERE).
Witzend Tours & Adventures Seasonal Series
Get out of the everyday and into adventure. Witzend’s seasonal events blend guided experiences with playful challenges — from coastal walks with curious twists to themed scavenger explorations that feel like an invitation to wander with purpose.
