In August Shelburne County is host to two exhibitions plus the popular  Lockeport Sea Derby, and the Shag Harbour UFO Incident Festival.
September features our very own 
Whirligig Festival and Lights Along the Shore.  All year long watch our events page for community breakfasts and suppers, plus live music & theatre at the Osprey Arts Centre all year long.


Just one hour drive from the Cat Ferry from Bar Harbor and Portland, Maine and about two hours from Halifax, the area features pristine beaches, fresh water rivers, woodlands and ocean vistas. It is rich in history and alive with arts and culture.
