About
The Festival acadien de Clare (the oldest Acadian festival in the world!) has always been a celebration of Acadian culture and heritage. Thousands of people from all over the world gather in Saint Mary’s Bay every year for a week filled with activities for all ages, like the lumberjack competition, the parade, the bazaar and so much more!

I like participating in the festival because...
“The festival is a big part of my history going from Clare we saw a lot of people we saw I loved then now my nephew goes to the Acadian Festival of Clare then it makes me very proud to see him love it a lot like me”
- Pamela Leblanc
My favorite memory of the festival is...
“Being part of the parade as a child, the fun and creative floats at the Festival and the comedy evenings!”
- Elise Comeau
"Being Évangéline and Gabriel in
1971"
- Marie and Melvin Deveau
The festival is important to Acadian culture because...
“It's an opportunity to get together, to do the things that Acadians like to do... relax, have a drink, listen to French music and songs, meet up with relatives, wear our Acadian colors, attend to activities that have become habit-forming!….”
- Caroline Thériault
