Although it's Canada's smallest province, Prince Edward Island is also home to what might be Canada's biggest celebrity. Generations of youngsters -- especially girls! –- have grown up reading about the antics of Anne of Green Gables, the novel set in P.E.I. and written by its native daughter, Lucy Maud Montgomery, whose pint-sized heroine has attracted visitors to Charlottetown from around the globe for decades.
The Charlottetown Festival
This festival runs all summer and features paid events like professional musical theatre and gallery exhibitions, but also has free outdoor performances. Plus check out their musical theatre program, which includes Anne of Green Gables: The Musical. For more details, phone the Confederation Centre at 1-800-565-0278.
