Nestled along

the curvaceous bends of the Saint John River, Fredericton, New Brunswick’s capital, is a city that seamlessly blends nature and urban energy. Steeped in history, the 18th-century Historic Garrison District, once a British army base, now pulsates with a vibrant artistic spirit. Redcoats reenact the Changing of the Guard ceremony, while local artisans showcase their talents in studios lining the cobblestone streets.

The Beaverbrook Art Gallery boasts an impressive collection of Canadian and international pieces, while the Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market tantalizes taste buds with fresh, seasonal produce and handcrafted goods.
