Wolfville & Kings County, Nova Scotia, Canada
This beautiful area, only one hour from Halifax and the Robert Stanfield International Airport, is the agricultural heartland of eastern Canada, a thriving wine region and the home of Acadia University, one of Canada's pre-eminent educational institutions. A rich cultural landscape infuses the region and its people with a respect for the riches around us. No place could be more perfect as the home of Devour!
The ancestral home of the Acadian people and where Louisiana's Cajuns originate, this has been a melting pot for hundreds of years so no better place to celebrate food, wine and film. With restaurants galore, a bustling downtown with galleries, great retail locations and beautiful inns, Wolfville is a wonderful place to spend a week exploring all that Devour! and the area have to offer.
Wolfville is one of the main urban areas in Kings County, along with Kentville, New Minas, Berwick, Canning and other lovely smaller villages and hamlets. This is apple country, but also the bread basket of Nova Scotia, with farmers' markets, interesting side roads and galleries, beautiful vistas and wonderful opportunities to explore.
COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Important Note on Traffic & Parking during this year's Festival
Wolfville will be busy in the coming weeks due to fall visitors, Acadia Homecoming, the Home Hardware Curling Pre-Trials, and our Festival. These exciting events offer great opportunities for community support and celebration, but please allow extra time for travel due to expected traffic congestion.
Public parking in town will be limited. Temporary parking is available on President’s Field at Acadia University. We encourage everyone to carpool, park farther from the core and walk, or use public transit and other forms of active transportation.
