🎶 Introducing the June Patio Sessions- and we could not be more excited! ✨

We’re thrilled to launch our very first live music feature, and there’s no one we’d rather kick it off with than North Rustico’s own Olivia Blacquiere. A singer-songwriter rooted right here on the Island, Olivia brings East Coast folk, heartfelt storytelling, and a warmth that just feels like home. 🌊

Come pull up a chair on the patio and enjoy an afternoon of beautiful music, good vibes, and everything you love about a slow summer Monday. 🪑☀️

As the tides turn for fall and we close out another beautiful season by the harbour, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s made this past 2025 season so special. 💙
