Waterfront Container Village

We’ve taken something that you’ve known and loved – the AREA 506 Vendor Village – and turned it into the première experience on the Saint John waterfront. 

In June 2022, we premiered the full waterfront experience with a diverse collection of retail shops, a performance space, a Waterfront Container Lounge, food trucks, public art and pop-up activities. All wrapped up in more than 60 shipping containers, celebrating everything that’s cool about being a port city (the Port City).

The gates are open for another season at 85 Water Street in Saint John. Nearly 40 vendors will bring this innovative space to life for six months and create memorable experiences for the close to 500,000 visitors who pass through the gates.
