SHIPPING CHANGES and LOCAL PICKUP

I guess there is some confusion about ordering on our website

If you are ordering we are now charging $15 flat rate shipping on all orders and FREE shipping on orders of $150 or more

If you are ordering local and want to pick up like the Town of Amherst Tartan blankets use PICKUP as the promo code and you will not be charged shipping fees

You can also CALL US if you want to order online (902) 441-6721

We have to start charging for shipping again as diesel prices are driving up that cost.

Sorry folks

We went to the opening ceremony of the Nova Scotia Fibre Arts Festival

What a great crowd there was.

The official unveiling of the Town of Amherst tartan was done with Mayor Small.

The tartan was designed by Patrick King Woolen Co and the Town of Amherst. It was so cool to see an idea come to life!

It was a nice time

They’re marking this decade milestone by throwing a dance party to thank the community for their support. The DJ has been booked and they’ll be taking over Victoria Street as part of Esther Fest. Costumes are completely optional! You can come dressed up, dressed down or just come ready to dance!

There will be an area set up to accept monetary donations for this year’s Christmas for Kids AND Christmas for Seniors! Because these businesses believe that celebrating 10 years is even better when they can help make Christmas a little brighter for others.

Spooky time is coming to Amherst with Ester Fest 2026

Hope to see you :)

Maritime Tartan Co

And the wait is over!!!

Here is the lineup for Esther Fest 2026. This is our biggest festival yet! And we still have a few more things to announce over the coming days. In addition to the return of old favourites like our Ghost Investigations, The Great Amherst Street Party, the Psychic Fair, The Witch Dance, and our Ghost Walks, this year we have:

- the screening of a new documentary about The Great Amherst Mystery
- a Victorian Seance
- a new play about Helen Creighton, the author of Bluenose Ghosts
- a pub crawl with Esther Cox
- a witchy dance lesson and more!!!

We couldn't possibly do this without all the help from Amherst Community Living and the Town of Amherst, NS! We also have an amazing group of volunteers who work behind the scenes every year to help make Esther Fest memorable. I'll name all of them in a future post! Thanks to Tim Fahey for the ghostly Esther Fest logo. And a special shout out goes to our webmaster David McClelland! Thanks for helping us make Esther Fest what it is!

Can't wait to get spooky with you next month!👻🎃
