Ahoy! Are you ready to dive in and “fill yer boots?”

We are excited to share that the Eastern Shore Cold Waters Seafood Festival is back for 2022! Located on the grounds of Memory Lane Heritage Village in Lake Charlotte, 45 minutes outside Halifax along Nova Scotia’s beautiful Eastern Shore.

Our Eastern Shore culture is anchored in the coves, harbours, and inlets that form the wild shores where we live. These cold, clear waters yield some of the best seafood in the province, and we celebrate that coastal connection in a big way!

Whether you're looking for contemporary dishes, simple steamed shellfish, or tried and true traditional favourites, there's something for everyone at the Cold Waters Seafood Festival. Join in the family activities and skills demonstrations such as paint-your-own-buoy, dory rides, net knitting, and lobster trap building. Enjoy free samples of heritage recipes such as Solomon Gundy, and Herring and Potatoes. 

This is a rain or shine event, so come down east for great eats, live music and family fun. We can't wait to dive back in with you and stuff ourselves with delicious local seafood again soon!

Visit our website at coldwatersfestival.com for full event details including ticket procedures and a full list of vendors!

Please Note: Memory Lane Heritage Village has free-roaming farm animals on site and does not allow pets within the Village grounds.
