I just noticed my cruise will be in Saint John on New Brunswick Day which is considered a holiday on August 3rd. How big of a day is this? What special things will be going on?

In Saint John on that day is a large flea market along King Street. It is also the start of Greek Fest at Rockwood Park (food).

Thank you for the info! Is either of those places within walking distance of the pier?

Lisa - In June we did a great excursion. The 2 women who took us around were terrific. It was to the sea caves and reversing falls and a city tour. It was about 5 hours and they were knowledgeable and so proud of their city and made it very interesting as they really wanted us to see their city. They had the tides schedule so they knew that if we didn't change the tour around we would not make it into the sea caves so they took us there first.

Pat, was that with Freedom Tours?

King Street is 3 blocks from the ship. Rockwood Park would be a 25-30 min walk or quick cab ride.
