Culture & Entertainment | New Brunswick / Nouveau Brunswick Canada

From acclaimed local galleries to national and international exhibitions, collections and art festivals, New Brunswick is home to a thriving artistic community.

From canvas and clay, photography, pewter and wood, and every other artistic media, immerse yourself in the work of our artists and artisans.

Discover the old-fashioned charm of our historic covered bridges, many of which are still in operation – including the longest covered bridge in the world at Hartland. Don’t miss the picturesque town of Sussex, the “Covered Bridge Capital of New Brunswick”.

Whether it be extraordinary hallmarks of architecture or quaint and sturdy reminders of our early settlers, you'll find that New Brunswick is blessed with an interesting array of churches and cathedrals.

Immerse yourself in our rich “community culture” at one of our bustling farmer markets. The W. W. Boyce Farmers Market in Fredericton has been recognized nationally in the Globe and Mail newspaper and Harrowsmith magazine as one of the best farmers markets in Canada. The Saint John City Market, with its ceiling resembling the inverted hull of a ship, is also a National Historic Site.

The pace of life slows to a “stroll” in our award-winning gardens. Kingsbrae Garden in St. Andrews, named One of Canada’s Top Ten Public Gardens, is a 27-acre masterpiece.

Our award-winning historical villages are living museums. Take a walk back in time to the 1700’s at Le Village Historique Acadien, see the changing of the guard at the Historic Garrison District, or wander back to early Loyalist life at Kings Landing Historical Settlement.

Our famous lighthouses are proud sentinels of our coastline and our past. Whether you choose to paddle to the lights, climb to the Keeper’s Restaurant, or just enjoy the dramatic vistas, you can tour miles of New Brunswick coastline, one lighthouse at a time.

Unravel New Brunswick’s mysteries by exploring our colourful past. From a 1905 REO touring car at the Antique Automobile Museum to the secrets of the Popes Museum in Grande-Anse, discover our thrilling historical treasures and piece together our unique story.

Our renowned nature centres present inspiring and thought-provoking adventures for travellers of all ages. Visit the Ecological Park of the Acadian Peninsula where you can roam the trails in solitude or with a guide and experience the wonders of nature on the Acadian Peninsula.

New Brunswick currently ranks as one of the top three maple syrup producers in Canada, guaranteeing that you will find lots of places to satisfy your sweet tooth in our province.

New Brunswick theatre has taken centre stage, nationally and internationally. Be sure to stop in the charming artistic community of Sackville and catch a show at The Live Bait Theatre or enjoy outdoor public performances. 

Nothing beats the feeling you get when you learn to let yourself go.

Experience a taste of New Brunswick! Tour our local vineyards and wineries to sample rich, organic fruit wines, dessert wines, and ciders - along with succulent local produce.

Explore the life aquatic at the New Brunswick Aquarium and Marine Centre in Shippagan – Atlantic Canada’s largest public aquarium. Both adults and kids love the touch-tank. (Tip: keep an eye out for our rare and wonderful Blue lobster.)
