Home is Harbour Grace—this is our story.
The Town of Harbour Grace is excited to be part of Newfoundland & Labrador’s Come Home 2022 celebrations.
Things kickoff on Victoria Day Weekend, with a visit from the 99’s to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of Amelia Earhart’s solo transatlantic flight.
Come Home Week will be held from July 21-31. There’ll be plenty of events, from a production of Ged Blackmore’s Remarkable Story of Harbour Grace, to the 160th Annual Harbour Grace Regatta—and plenty more in-between.

Home is Harbour Grace – so why litter? Come Home 2022 gives us a wonderful opportunity to showcase our beautiful town. Please make a special effort to maintain your property this summer (and in the future). Bring an extra bag with you on your walk, or spend a morning cleaning up your neighbourhood. If we all pitch in, Harbour Grace will be a better place.
A community cleanup is scheduled for Saturday, May 14. Stay tuned to our Community Notices page for further details on how to help out.
