Reasons to celebrate

Royal St. John's Regatta, the oldest continuous sporting event in North AmericaHave you ever celebrated a blueberry? An accordion? A salmon? A muddy hole?

Here, in Newfoundland and Labrador, we think there are a lot of things worth celebrating. Our favorite places, our favorite foods, our favorite pastimes, and our favorite traditions. Rocky shores, gardens, forests, and yes, even muddy holes.

And we celebrate these things in the best way we know how. It’s our tradition to gather people and entertain them with everything that we have. After all, we are masters of the kitchen party!

What’s On the Go During the Next 30 Days
