Since the best festivals act as both a sonic awakening to new music and a highlight of the location they're set in, the Festival of Small Halls is a goodie: A slew of small concerts held in churches, community centres and legion halls across PEI, you'll not only discover a new favourite band or two (we recommend Adyn Townes and Rachel Beck) but see a snippet of the island you might otherwise miss.
