Saint-Quentin is a community teeming with joie de vivre (love of life), from the sweet to the rough and tough. This vibrant community has earned a reputation as the Atlantic Maple Capital and is home to the largest Western Festival in the Maritimes. Nestled at the foot of Mount Carleton, the highest peak in the Maritimes, it is one of the most authentic wilderness areas you’ll find anywhere, with pristine lakes, trails, camping and world-class fishing in abundance.
Maple syrup, like a fine wine, depends on the region from which it comes, and Saint-Quentin boasts a vintage that is unparalleled. In the fall, these same maple trees explode in a symphony of magnificent colour!
You won’t want to miss the Western Festival in July, when cowhands test their agility and strength at the rodeo. Take in the powwow, Miss Cowgirl Pageant, and live country entertainment… there’s something to delight everyone!
As the gateway to the Appalachian Range, some of the oldest mountains on the planet, Saint-Quentin will also delight outdoor enthusiasts with one of the best salmon rivers in the world – the Restigouche, a designated Canadian Heritage River. And while you’re here, don’t miss a visit to our treasured heritage sites, the Old Train Station, which contains a Visitor Information Centre, where assistance awaits you in your exploration of this beautiful area, and Roy Heritage House, where you will find a historical collection of information on the town.
When you journey to this breathtaking corner of New Brunswick, you will be captivated by Saint-Quentin, set against a backdrop of mountains and vast open spaces – a town with a history of hospitality and a zest for life!
