In August 2026, Fine Book Fairs will host a Road to Avonlea Convention on Prince Edward Island. The event will take place from August 7th to 9th, 2026, and it gives fans the opportunity to meet actors from Sullivan Entertainment's acclaimed television series, which ran from 1990 to 1996. The TV series was based in part on The Story Girl, The Golden Road, and other stories by L.M. Montgomery.
Marking the 30th anniversary of the show's final season, the Road to Avonlea Convention will feature special events, including panels with actors and crew members of Road to Avonlea as well as members of L.M. Montgomery's family.
The following actors are confirmed to be attending (According to organizers, more will be added!):
- Zachary Bennett (Felix King)
- Lally Cadeau (Janet King)
- Maja Ardal (Clara Potts)
- James O'Regan (Constable Abner Jeffries)
- Kyle Labine (Davey Keith)
- Ian D. Clark (Simon Tremayne)
- John Friesen (Archie Gillis)
Fans can purchase silver, gold, or platinum tickets to attend the event. All ticket holders will have access to the Road to Avonlea panels. The gold and platinum tickets include entry to a VIP reception at The Haviland Club in Charlottetown. Platinum ticket holders will also enjoy a special dinner at Dalvay-by-the-Sea, which Road to Avonlea fans know as the White Sands Hotel. Beyond that, the platinum ticket includes a tour of the show's filming locations on PEI and several sites related to L.M. Montgomery.
The early bird discounted pricing for the tickets is as follows: Silver tickets cost $200 CAD, Gold tickets cost $350 CAD, and Platinum tickets cost $1,200 CAD. According to finefairs.com, the ticket prices will increase by 20% after January 15, 2026.
The Fine Book Fairs Road to Avonlea fan convention is not affiliated with Sullivan Entertainment.
Previously, there were four Avonlea Conventions held by AvCon, Inc. in 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2009. The 2026 Road to Avonlea Convention organized by Fine Book Fairs will be the first major opportunity to reunite fans with the cast of the show in 17 years.
