We’re Bringing Back The ‘Quac!

The Mactaquac Handicraft Festival was a celebrated event that took place annually in the picturesque setting of Mactaquac Provincial Park from the 1970’s until the mid 1990’s.

In 1982, this festival grew to become a cornerstone of the local cultural calendar, attracting artisans, crafters, and visitors from all across the maritimes and beyond. That year the festival saw a record 35,000 people attend over two days on Labour Day Weekend.

This year, we want to bring Mactaquac Back! 

On August 29th until August 31st, amidst the natural beauty of the Mactaquac Provincial Park, we want to bring this beloved festival back with the same charm and family-friendly atmosphere, but with updated vendors and vibe.
