Fredericton New Brunswick has amazing food, craft beer, trails and cocktails. This riverside city is the perfect spot for a weekend getaway.
The historic area is just big enough to be home to lots of great independent shops, chef owned restaurants and so many craft beer options.
Downtown Fredericton is flat and very walkable; everything you need is quite close. For spots like great taprooms and Northside haunts, you’re only a quick bike ride away.
And there are enough trails to get you there quickly.
I spent three nights in downtown Fredericton and I wanted to kick this post off with some fun facts and reasons to visit Fredericton New Brunswick.
1) Craft Brewing Capital: Fredericton ranks amongst the most taprooms per capita in Canada, with one taproom per 5,400 people.
2) Freddy the Nude Dude is older than the Statue of Liberty. The replica little cherub stands atop the three tiered fountain in front of City Hall.
3) St.Mary’s First Nation: It’s located just opposite Fredericton. It has one of the best restaurants in the area, a craft shop people rave about and a new dessert shop.
4) FIVE markets! There’s the big Boyce farmers market, but also a Creators market, Eco market, Cultural market and Food Market at the Ex.
5) So many trails! Actually over 120km of trails. They aren’t only along the river but close to downtown. Some have murals and other artwork.
And the stops on the Fredericton Taproom Trail are all located within 20km of each other!
This video is in partnership with Fredericton Tourism to share that it's not just a university city but a fantastic weekend getaway.
