Stompin' Tom Centre

Prince Edward Island


This country-music venue is dedicated to the local musician Stompin' Tom Connors, who was raised nearby at Skinners Pond (although he was actually born in New Brunswick). Befitting a lifelong champion of Canadian music, the center hosts regular dinner concerts throughout the summer.
