History
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. On 1 January 2023, Lamèque amalgamated with the village of Sainte-Marie-Saint-Raphaël and annexed the local service districts making up the remainder of Lamèque Island to form the new town of Île-de-Lamèque. Lamèque's name remains in official use as a community.
