If you can believe it, 2025 was our 10th year! The AREA 506 Festival takes place in Uptown Saint John every summer over the New Brunswick Day long weekend, and features the best of our province’s music, culture, and goods.
The Waterfront Container Village creates the backdrop for a diverse group of vendors, brands and cultural groups to truly showcase the energy and ingenuity of our province’s artisans, craftspeople and musicians. Since 2016, we’ve been transforming the Saint John waterfront and programming an amazing weekend of music for thousands of attendees.
Mark your calendars for the [extra long] weekend of July 30 to August 2, 2026 for AREA 506 2026.
Here’s a peek at the highlights of the 2025 event to keep you going:
