Things to do in Fredericton

DISCOVER OUR HISTORY TOUR 

Spend the day exploring heritage attractions like Kings Landing Historical Settlement, Historic Garrison District, the Provincial Legislative Assembly, or Government House. 

ONE OF MY FAVOURITES!

Tour the Council Chambers at Fredericton's City Hall to view a series of tapestries titled "The Last 200 Years". These tapestries are permanently displayed. They were produced in honour of Fredericton’s 200th birthday (1985) and as the Capital of New Brunswick. Two local artists - Mrs. Gertrude Duffie and Dr. Ivan H. Crowell - created a unique series of 27 colorful tapestries depicting Fredericton’s history. You won't be disappointed. 

SAY "YES" TO A GALLERY TOUR                                                                                                                                   

Discover Fredericton's vibrant culture at fine galleries like the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Gallery 78, Gallery Connexion and the NB College of Craft & Design Gallery plus many more.

FINE CRAFT & STUDIO TOURS

Fredericton enjoys more working artisans per capital, not surprising since Fredericton is home to the New Brunswick College of Craft & Design. Watch artisans at work at studios like Aitkens Pewter, the Barracks Fine Craft Shops and Artful Persuasion at 79 York Street (a collective of 26 local artisans...a MUST see!).

FREDERICTON BOYCE FARMER'S MARKET - DON'T MISS!

What can I say - "the Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market is the City’s traditional Saturday morning (6am-1pm) gathering spot downtown for fresh and healthy foods, craft, creativity and conversation." Yep, that says it all. A Saturday morning must do!
