Generation XX skatepark/ youth-club
Since 1997 Generation XX in Summerside has been a safe, supervised place for the youth of the city and surrounding areas to grow friendships, learn organizational skills, volunteer for their community and grow into productive members of society. Their approach to youth engagement is one of empowerment; they seek to involve youth in all aspects of the organization including having half of their Board of Directors comprised of youth members. By doing so, youth are involved in decision making, problem solving and fundraising efforts.
They have won many prestigious awards, including an International Fellowship Award for Youth Engagement. The youth realize that they are the driving force behind the club. By showing that they can work with the police, business people, parents and others in the community, the whole community benefits from the development of Generation XX Youth.

The Moonshiner Swashbuckler
About the Swashbuckler
The annual Swashbuckler, which follows the Moonshiner swim, is a celebration for the swimmers, yakkers and volunteers who come together to make each years swim possible. A proper good ol ' island foot-stomper highlighting some of Atlantic Canads's best musicians.
2016 Swashbuckler
The first Swashbuckler was small and took place at the home of a Moonshiner Swim organizer. Good eats, bonfire, guitars and friends. A combination for a good time.
2017 Swashbuckler
The Swashbuckler grew in attendance and took place at the Summerside Legion. There were memorable performances by Jeremy Heisler and Joe Myers, both rocked the stage and and kept the party going all night.
2018 Swashbuckler
Doors open at the Summerside Legion on Sat, August 25th, at 7PM.
We are excited to announce performances by Jordan Cameron and Wheelhouse Band.
Jordan Cameron has been a regular on the Island music scene for almost 10 years. His blend of folky - alternative, story driven songs will stick with you long after the show. He has released 4 studio albums, and has been nominated for an ECMA, and 6 Music PEI awards. He's trying to make the ukulele cool, but not sure if its working.
WheelHouse band is not your father's cover-band. Four music lovers, all with differing influences and backgrounds come together to play all the classics as well as keeping things fresh with newer music relevant to the younger generation and original songs of their own.
2019 Swashbuckler
Lot's of laughs, food and good tunes at Dale & Eldon Noonan's house in Hunter River.
Until next year!
