One of the most unique events in Atlantic Canada is happening this summer – and it’s something you can’t really experience anywhere else.
The Iceberg Festival is returning to Newfoundland from June 5–14, 2026, bringing together icebergs, coastal views, live music, and local food.
What Is the Iceberg Festival?
This is a multi-day festival held across several communities along Newfoundland’s Viking Trail.
It celebrates:
- iceberg season

You’re not just going to a festival – you’re exploring different towns while actual icebergs float along the coastline.
