Join in and celebrate with friendly people! Every summer towards the end of July the village of Pugwash, Nova Scotia has a Harbourfest celebration. It is a fun-packed 3-day community event that takes place at the waterfront and around our village. 

This year the 17th Annual Harbourfest is being held from Friday, July 28th until Sunday, July 30th, 2023. We are excited to greet visitors from near and far to showcase the Pugwash waterfront and the beautiful Harbourfront Stage. 

There are lots of fun things to do including live music, athletic competitions, interactive art events, food trucks, a beer garden, fireworks and more. 

Admission to the Annual Pugwash Harbourfest and the majority of the events is free. Paid registration is required for some sporting events such as the 5k Race and Beach Volleyball.  Tickets are also available to purchase for the Harbourfest Dance.
