Festivals and Events in Lunenburg Lunenburg was not all work and no play, even in the earliest days. In the mid-nineteenth century, for example, the merchant Adolphus Gaetz recorded various local events, including anniversaries, bazaars, lectures, concerts, dances and picnics, though the pages of his diary, 1855-73. Lunenburg's celebrations, festivals, and gatherings take place year round! Whether it is our heritage and culture, arts and crafts, or our music... you name it, we celebrate it! Check our Festival and Events calendar for the dates and times of this year's celebrations! Some of the more popular events in alphabetical order include:
