Shediac Wonderland Events

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 thread community, curiosity, and joy through Shediac’s calendar.

Whether you’re a longtime local, a returning wanderer, or discovering us for the first time, you’ll find something worth lingering for.

Comedy Misfits @ Le Moque-Tortue

May 6th – One night only!

LIVE stand-up comedy – honest, awkward and maybe a little gross.

Stand‑up that dives head‑first into the unfiltered stuff you probably shouldn’t say at family dinner. The Comedy Misfits shows are real people talking about their lives – work, dating, growing older – and all the mess that comes with it. Ages 19+ only.

The Comedy Misfits are Chris Basso, Nina Wilder, Brett McCrindle and Pam Stiles – all hailing from Vancouver Island.

They’re on a Canada-wide tour and spending ONE NIGHT in Shediac!

Tickets are $65/person

This include a three-course meal service during the show. We promise the food will be as great as the comedy!

Our flagship event, the Shediac Renaissance Festival, transforms Shediac into a vibrant world of minstrels, jesters, artisans, and explorers.

Artisan crafts and demonstrations
Feastable delights and hearth-fresh flavours
Jousts, feats of skill, and period performances
Hands-on workshops for all ages

Ideal for families, history lovers, costumed revelers, and anyone with an appetite for wonder. Click HERE for tickets!

Le Moque-Tortue‘s Musical 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).

Bazar Neptune

Saturdays in July & August

Shediac’s Saturday Teasure Hint is 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.

Shediac Wonderland is a family of story-driven businesses created by Sébastien Després and Heather Wright. Le Moque-Tortue (a board game bistro), Morse et Marteaux BBQ Smokehouses & Lobster Shacks (four locations throughout Shediac), Le Griffon (bed & breakfast), The Neptune (a Drive-In Theatre), Adorable Chocolat (an artisanal chocolaterie), Bazar Neptune (a Saturday market), and Witzend Tours & Adventures (tours, escape rooms, and concierge), and the Shediac Renaissance Faire: each one a chapter of a larger story about what happens when a community decides to take play seriously.
