July 9 - July 14
Western Festival
What can we say about our famous Western Festival, the largest of its kind in the Maritimes and a major tourist event in the region? Saint-Quentin has preserved its own rustic “Far West” cachet, and the Festival’s reputation is well established! The popularity of the Super Rodeo, which attracts Cowboys from all over the country, keeps growing stronger every year. Be sure to catch Miss Cow-Girl Atlantic, the parade, the Country Gala, bingo, Pow-Pow, big country shows and more. Outdoor activities can be enjoyed on our covered bleachers. New this year, we’ve added a whole host of events to our program for you to enjoy! With Youdly, the fun starts in Restigouche!
Mount Carleton Provincial Park
A challenging mix of Acadian woods and mountain peaks, Mount Carleton has more than 17,000 ha (42,000 acres) of pristine wilderness waiting for today’s explorer. Our habitat is home to more wild animal species than any other part of the province. At least 100 different types of birds and 30 species of mammals live here. A botanist’s eye will also discover a number of rare plants, including Alpine blueberry and Bigelow’s sedge on the slopes of Mount Carleton itself.
L’Ancienne Gare Tourist Centre
The Old Train Station Tourist Centre, a replica of the old train station built in 1920 and destroyed in the fall of 1983, has been in operation since June 19, 2005. In addition to the Visitor Information Centre, this heritage building houses the offices of Service New Brunswick, an exhibition hall, a conference room and a souvenir store.
