Raceway Days Presented by Summerside Lobster Carnival

Raceway Days Presented by Summerside Lobster Carnival Raceway Days takes place July 15–18, 2026 as part of the Summerside Lobster Carnival!

Celebrating 150 years of Summerside harness racing with four days of live racing, entertainment, great food, midway fun, and family-friendly events. The Summerside Lobster Carnival celebrates two of Prince Edward Island’s passions: lobster and great entertainment. For over 60 years our community has gathered in July to celebrate our fishing industry through lobster and the vital role it plays in t

he economy and way of life on Prince Edward Island. We seek to honour this tradition by retracing the origins and nostalgia of festivals of yesteryear. We are excited to deliver a schedule of programming that showcases not only lobster, but also celebrates what the carnival means to our community. We’ve got several action packed days of fun planned, so check the program, mark your calendars, round up your family and friends, and join us for what is sure to be a fantastic Summerside Lobster Carnival!
