On the circuit for major concerts and shows, Saint John plays host to some big names like Hedley, Simple Plan,
The Blue Man Group, Feist and Carrie Underwood. The city is also home to the Saint John Theatre Company,
Opera New Brunswick, Symphony New Brunswick, and the NB Museum.

For sports fans, Saint John is home to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, the Saint John Sea Dogs, and the
city’s municipal parks provide places to golf, cross-country ski, cave, and hike. Saint John’s spectacular location
on the Bay of Fundy, and UNB’s location at the juncture of the Saint John and Kennebecasis rivers also mean
plenty of water sports, like scuba diving, sea kayaking, and sailing.

We’ll even give you some ideas on where you might shop to make your new place feel like home. In fact, Saint John is
New Brunswick’s number one shopping destination!
