Downtown Wolfville

The vibe in downtown Wolfville begs for a slower pace of exploration so park the car, and wander through downtown on foot.

Grab a coffee at one of our hip, student-filled cafes – locally roasted beans, of course.  Pop into the distinctive boutiques our downtown boasts, and shop for fashions, outdoors equipment, local art, and souvenirs.

As the sun sets, Wolfville twinkles like the stars, with lights, and sights of cafés, concerts, restaurants, and our gem of a theatre, the Al Whittle.
