Fredericton (River Valley Scenic Drive and Miramichi River Route)
Once a British Garrison, our riverfront capital is awash with heritage, culture and natural beauty. Tree-lined avenues lead to 70km of riverside trails connecting fascinating sites like the Historic Garrison District, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and Old Government House. If that is not enough, add The Playhouse, one of the best farmers’ markets in Canada and an array of award-winning celebrations such as the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival into the mix.
Or come to learn and indulge your creative urges. Every July and August, edVentures - Atlantic Canada's largest holiday education programme - offers over 120 workshops, ranging from painting, fashion, heritage offerings, jewellery, textiles, photography and much more!
Picnic in lovely Odell or Wilmot parks, or cool off with a freshwater swim at Killarney Lake Park, then take a trip back in time and experience living history at nearby Kings Landing Historical Settlement. Take a more in-depth look at the city on a self-guided audio tour of Fredericton’s historic neighbourhoods, then jump back to the 21st century and enjoy free outdoor concerts, films, storytelling and theatre at Officers Square.
You can do all this and more in Atlantic Canada’s Riverfront Capital!
