Festival “Meat Pie”

The Farmers’ Bank of Rustico and the Doucet House work alongside each of the regional committees of the Société acadienne et francophone de l’Île (SAF’Île) on Festival “Meat Pie!  Six regional competitions take place across Prince Edward Island with one taking place in each of the different Acadian and Francophone regions across the province (DeBlois, Évangéline, Summerside, Rustico, Charlottetown et Rollo Bay).

Folks can register in two different categories in each of the regional competitions: the Traditional Acadian Meat Pie as well as the Non-Traditional Meat Pie.

Traditional Acadian Meat Pie

This category features and highlights the classic traditional Acadian meat pie.  Acadian meat pie goes back hundreds of years and is a delicacy that is still served in Acadian households today.  Many Acadians still gather around the table to feast on Acadian meat pie after midnight mass on Christmas Eve or will have it for breakfast on Christmas Day!
