The City of Fredericton

The City of Fredericton is full of fun things to do. A beautiful Cultural Capital of Canada, the city is host to a ton of festivals and special events such as the annual Harvest Jazz and Blues festival, public art shows, and cultural events celebrating everything from Asian to French heritage.

Fredericton is naturally beautiful city situated alongside the Saint John River. Stretching along the river is a 5 km long pathway system called the Green, which is connected to the other 60 km of walking/running paths that wind throughout the city. The capital also boasts the leafy, path-filled Odell Park for all the runners out there.
