CAMPBELLTON

 Sugaring-off, fiddlehead picking, salmon celebrating, autumn hiking, downhill skiing- Campbellton is the city for all seasons! The amber magic of maple syrup is a sweet end to wonderful white winters. One of the highlights of summer is the Salmon Festival which is celebrated the first week of July. The waterfront comes alive with music and people strolling down Salmon Boulevard, having their pictures taken with the world's largest salmon at the Salmon Plaza.

 

Campbellton
 
Campbellton is a beautiful, dramatically picturesque gateway to the Acadian Coastal Drive and the Appalachian Range. Antique and craft stores, great golf, unparalleled bird-watching opportunities, visual art, history, science and technology exhibits - something for everyone. Getting here is exciting and beautiful, being here is even better. The city may be small, but it's mighty pretty and lots of fun too!
