On July 1, 2008 Conception Bay South is celebrating Canada Day in Long pond at the Recreation Complex. There will be free drinks and hot dogs, flag raising, cake cutting and much more childrens activities. Performances will be supplied by local bands.

The 2009 Kelligrews Soiree is set for the 2th, 3th, 4th & 5th of July. This event takes place just up the street from Beach-Side B&B, about a five minute walk. During the four days of this event, some of the attractions and activities are: free swimming at our town pool, adult Newfoundland kitchen party, free pancake breakfast, tennis tournament, and a fun run along the Trans Canada Trail - which passes directly beside Beach-Side B&B. There is also a scavenger hunt, family BBQ, traditional fishermen's brewis dinner, and a folk festival featuring local and top name performers. This festival is a fun time for all who join in. Plan your stay with us at Beach-Side B&B and any questions you have or help you might need is our pleasure to provide. Indeed, one of the best festivals in Newfoundland & Labrador. Made famous through the folk music standard The Kelligrews Soiree by Johnny Burke.

Manuels River Watch Your Bobber Race is a yearly event that draws a huge crowd. It takes place at the Manuels River Bridge and Trail during the Kelligrews Soiree.

Conception Bay South offers a range of superb recreational facilities and activities for all ages.
