About Us

Festivals and Events PEI is a federation of festivals, events, and suppliers which includes over 80 members. It is a non-profit organization which is administered by a volunteer Board of Directors.

We were formed as a result of government recognizing the importance of the festivals and events industry on PEI. We aim to increase the professionalism of festival and event staff and volunteers as well as the quality of the experience offered to the participants.

The Board meets monthly, sets goals, and proceeds through a work plan developed by each of its three committees: membership, education and marketing. We achieve our objectives through membership revenue and have received funding through Tourism PEI's tourism investment fund. We provide our industry with a strong, representative voice for the festivals and events sector.
