The AREA 506 Festival takes place every New Brunswick Day long weekend on the Saint John Waterfront, and features the best of our province’s music, culture and goods. The Waterfront Container Village creates a 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.

Featuring both free and ticketed events, we transform the Saint John Waterfront and create an amazing experience for thousands of attendees each year.
