New Brunswick in the fall is chef’s kiss, colourful leaves, cozy cafés, pumpkin patches, and that crisp air that makes you want to throw on a flannel and get outside. Whether you’re planning a weekend road trip or just looking for new ways to enjoy the season close to home, here are 6 fun things to do this fall in New Brunswick.
1. Visit a Local Pumpkin Patch
Nothing says fall like picking your own pumpkin. Check out Hunter Brothers Farm in Florenceville-Bristol or Verger Belliveau Orchard in Memramcook for pumpkins, corn mazes, and fall fun.
2. Stroll Through a Farmers Market
Stock up on fresh produce, seasonal treats, and local crafts at markets like the Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market or the Saint John City Market.
