The Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts and Recreation (TCAR) is responsible for attracting major events to Newfoundland and Labrador.

Major events and home-grown celebrations are vital contributors to Newfoundland and Labrador’s economy. They attract visitors, generating significant economic benefits for accommodations, restaurants, retail, artisans, performers, and creative industries. Beyond economic impact, events strengthen communities by creating shared experiences and social connections, while also celebrating and preserving the province’s rich cultural heritage.

Major events showcase Newfoundland and Labrador on both national and international stages—highlighting our passion for sport, vibrant arts scene, and unique cultural identity. By hosting major events, we demonstrate our capacity as a premier destination, offering exceptional hospitality, creativity, and cultural richness. Our province is defined by its welcoming people, dynamic communities, and stunning natural landscapes—qualities that make it an exceptional place to host and experience events.
