Cultural Services

Wolfville's cultural community includes art galleries, theatres and theatre companies, a wide range of festivals, unbelieveable number of events and much more.  For a current list of events and activities in Wolfville please see www.downtownwolfville.com 

Wolfville’s cultural history also includes shipping, the formation and growth of Acadia University, the arrival and departure of the Acadians, the arrival of the planters and more. Take a walking tour of the heritage homes, visit the Randall House Museum, stroll through the old burying grounds or walk the dykes built by the French in the 1600's. East of town explore Grand-Pré National Historic Site. Stop in Hortonville and see the iron cross which stands in memorial to the Acadians and see the monument which marks the landing site of the Planters.

 

Regardless of which activity you enjoy,  you will find that Wolfville’s reputation is as the cultural centre of the region is well founded.
