There’s never a dull moment in New Brunswick. From our rich canvas of cultural celebrations and unique historical exhibitions to our vibrant artistic community, this is the place to be for extraordinary Maritime entertainment. Join in the festivity at the Tintamarre, a boisterous Acadian street party (where you’ll see revelers in Acadian colours). Be serenaded by fiddlers-in-canoes on the banks of a sleepy river at twilight. Wander the art galleries of Sackville, named a “Cultural Capital of Canada”, and come face to face with our Rembrandt. Or thrill to the soaring sounds of a Baroque music festival played on period instruments. There’s so much to do here, you might need to flag your calendar for a few extra days.
