Bridgewater has a reputation as the Main Street of the South Shore. On the west side, the traditional King Street shopping district is home to locally owned shops, restaurants, and services.

Annual events, including the South Shore  Exhibition, Afterglow Art Festival, South Shore in Motion, Canada Day on the LaHave River, and Christmas on the LaHave, provide spectacle and a taste of Lunenburg County for all.
