Lamèque (French pronunciation: [lamɛk]) is a former town in Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada.
Of Amerindian rather than French origin, "Lamèque" comes from the Micmac Elmugwadasik, a descriptive reference to the fact that "the head of the tidal river is turned to one side".
[2] A Francophone community, it is situated on Lamèque Island, off the northeastern tip of the Acadian Peninsula.
Lamèque has hosted an annual baroque music festival every summer since 1975.
The Lamèque Eco-Parc offers numerous flora and fauna features representative of the Acadian Peninsula.
