Annapolis Events Schedule

Sea Cadets Announce The Start of the
Sunset Ceremony, Annapolis Royal

Do you enjoy having fun? Then you will enjoy the many Annapolis events going on in the Annapolis Valley area all year long. There are so many different celebrations happening, you are sure to find something that interest you. We have festivals, dinners, Natal Days, sports events, concerts, exhibitions, art events, flower shows and a wharf Rat Rally, just to name just a few.

My events pages are set up to give you a guideline as to what events you can expect to find happening around the Annapolis Valley each year. Therefore you may find that the date and time listed is out of date, but remember that this event will probably be happening again this year and I will change the dates and times as I receive them.

If you are an organizer for one of these, or other Annapolis Events in the valley and could inform me of the date, times and even schedules I would love to hear from you. Please use the form found at the bottom of this page.

Winter is a very pretty time in the Annapolis Valley, and it is an active time also.

Rinks are filled daily with hockey games, or skating. Not far from the valley was the birth place of our national game of hockey, and it is still played where ever you can find an outside frozen pond.

The many trails in the valley are a-buzz with cross country skiers and snowmobilers.

Check out our many good hills, like the ones found at Fort Anne in Annapolis Royal and you will hear laughter as children are out with their sleds and toboggans.

There is always plenty going one, including many organized winter carnivals and don't forget the annual eagle watch in Sheffield Mills.

For an enjoyable evening of music or theatre check out what is happening on stage throughout the valley by checking here for Your Online Guide to Valley Entertainment. Another suggestion I have recently been introduced to is the many Jam Sessions that are going on throughout the valley. This is a great way to spend the evening and hear some of our great local talent.

So, if you would like to see a list of some of the Annapolis Events happening in January, February and March check it out here.

Spring time in the Annapolis Valley has to be one of my favorite seasons. This is when everything starts coming back to life after their winter's sleep.

The trees all start to bloom, the grass is turning green and flowers are popping up through the ground.

One of the early flowers to come alive in the Annapolis Valley is the May Flower, Nova Scotia's provincial flower. It is also my favorite flower, they smell so sweet but they are only out for such a short time.

But once they are gone then the air is filled with another fragrance as the apple trees all start to bloom. The whole valley is bountiful with beauty of the blossoms and filled with their sweet smell. Everyone is filled with cheer as festival season is kicked off with out biggest celebration - The Apple Blossom Festival.

July starts off with Canada Day Celebrations in the Annapolis Valley. Every community in the valley has some type of celebrations happening.

But the fun does not stop there as the month is full of Annapolis events happening almost daily.

I would like to mention here a bit about our volunteers we have here in the Annapolis Valley. While you go out and enjoy all these special events remember that about 90-95% of the preparation and work is done by volunteers. Their work is not just on that day, weekend, or week, but all year making arrangements to pull it all together.

I have worked on several of these committees personally and know how much work a small amount of people do at these events and festivals. Thank goodness we have such a strong volunteer community here, but to help keep it this way, remember to take a few minutes to personally thank these dedicated workers when you can.

Now take a few moments to see what is going on during the month of July in the valley.

August is the month of exhibitions in the Annapolis Valley among other celebrations. As busy as July was, I think August is even busier.

It has been a long time tradition in the valley for everyone to meet up at the fair. The women all check out the baking and crafts, the kids are playing the games or riding the rides, and the men are either in the barns, or watching the horse and ox pulls. It is a time of togetherness in the valley.

Check out a list of Annapolis events and festivals going on in the area during the month of August here.

Now I mentioned before that spring is my favorite season in the Annapolis Valley, but close behind it is Fall. We are so blessed here with all the beauty in the valley and autumn usually proves to be just astounding with all the colors from the leaves.

This is also a busy time in the valley as the harvest is finishing up and things are getting ready for the winter soon to be following. But the fall is not all work, it is the time for festivals to, harvest festivals, and special harvest dinners. So you can see all the Annapolis events happening in the valley by checking out my Fall Events Page here.

For more information on many of these Annapolis events you may want to check out my Annapolis Valley festivals page here.

The main reason for my Annapolis events page is to let both our visitors to the area and local people know what is happening in the Annapolis Valley. I am mostly interested in annual events, or events that have a special meaning to the local area.

If you are one of the organizers of any of these events and would be interested in letting me know about dates and times please use this form to contact me. I will ask for as much advance notice as possible so I have a chance to update my events pages.
