The AREA 506 Festival takes place in Uptown Saint John every year 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.
Here’s what’s we have in store for 2024:
The Festival tent pops up in the space alongside the Waterfront Container Village, and in partnership with International CultureFest, we’ll take over Water Street for an incredible weekend of free, family-friendly experiences. This year, we’ll also welcome the Bricklin International Car Club who’ll be in town celebrating the 50th anniversary of the legendary car produced right here in Saint John.
