Performers

If you’re looking for a schedule, you won’t find one here! Since the very beginning, keeping the performers a secret has been our favourite tradition. The mystery is the magic. What we can tell you is that we have a brand-new stage packed with incredible acts. From the moment you arrive, just let the night take over, because out here, absolutely anything can happen.

Vendors

We’ve got over 35 vendors moving into the streets, bringing everything from delicious eats to brilliant local art. Because the list is massive and keeps evolving right up to event day, we don’t publish a formal vendor guide. Instead, we’re letting the vendors speak for themselves! Make sure you’re following our social accounts—we’ll be resharing tons of vendor spotlights and previews as September 26th gets closer.

Festival Guidelines

Keeping the Bazaar Green

To help us keep our streets beautiful, please use the designated recycling and garbage bins throughout the site. Most importantly, let’s be great guests to Charlottetown. Please dispose of your trash properly and treat our neighbourhood, and the folks who live here, with the respect they deserve. Let’s leave the streets even cleaner than we found them!

Drones & Aerial Photography

• No Drone Zone: The Moonlight Bazaar is an “advertised event,” which means strictly no unauthorized drone flights are permitted over or within 30 metres (100 feet) of the event site.
• Transport Canada Regulations: Under current rules, this applies to all drones, including micro-drones under 250g. Flying at an advertised event without the required Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC-RPAS) is a serious violation that carries significant penalties: [Insert penalty details here, e.g., fines up to $3,000].

We take the safety and privacy of our guests and neighbours very seriously. Please keep your drones grounded so we can all enjoy the magic of the festival safely!

Logistics & Tips

Getting Here & Parking

• Parking Your Ride: The Moonlight Bazaar does not provide event-specific parking, but you’ll find plenty of options throughout downtown Charlottetown. We recommend utilizing the city’s main indoor parking garages for easy, stress-free access:
  • Queen Parkade (222 Queen Street) – Free on Saturdays!
  • Fitzroy Parkade (130 Fitzroy Street) – Free on Saturdays!
• Pro-Tip for Downtown Parking: On-street metered parking in Charlottetown is also free on weekends! Just be sure to check the signage for any temporary event restrictions.
• Need more info? Check out the Downtown Charlottetown Parking Guide or the CADC Parking Facilities page.

Pro-Tips for a Perfect Night

• Dress for Success: Wear your most comfortable dancing shoes, you’re going to be on your feet all night! Keep an eye on the forecast, stay hydrated, and dress for an autumn evening.
• Cash is King: While some vendors may take cards, cash is the fastest way to keep lines moving at your favourite market stalls. There are several major bank branches located right in the downtown core if you need to hit an ATM before you arrive.
• Leave No Trace (And Love the Neighbourhood): We’re lucky to host the Bazaar in the heart of beautiful Charlottetown. Please be respectful of the event site and surrounding areas before, during, and after the party. Let’s make sure we leave the streets just as vibrant as we found them!
• Paws Off the Dance Floor: While we absolutely love your four-legged friends, to comply with the PEI Liquor Control Commission, dogs will not be permitted at the Moonlight Bazaar in Charlottetown this year.

Our Mission

Moonlight Bazaar is an unconventional street festival that celebrates creativity by blending music, food, art, and live performances under the light of a 7-metre inflatable Moon. By transforming Charlottetown into something unforgettable for one night, we bring communities together while supporting local businesses.
