Chester Race Week

In Chester, the highlight of the yacht racing season is Race Week. Taking place in mid-August, it is hailed as the largest fixed keel regatta in Canada. Racing takes place in front of the Chester Yacht Club, in the front harbour.

The population of the small seaside village nearly doubles for four days. Vehicles line the streets, B&B's and nearby hotels are full to capacity, and there is live music and partying every night.
