Answer:
The town of Wolfville boasts spectacular tidal flats, an annual apple-blossom festival, and the beautiful campus of Acadia University.
Explanation:
You need a comma after "flats" to end this element in the series. The comma after "festival" is optional. You should not use a comma after "campus" because the phrase that follows is restrictive.
