Fall in Fredericton
Orchards, colour, corn mazes
and the last warm weekends.
Ten new guides for the season: where to pick apples, when the leaves peak, Thanksgiving at Kings Landing, the leaf-pickup weeks, the craft fairs, and every date that matters, week by week.
Hi, we’re Hey Freddy
The whole idea, in 42 seconds.
Amanda on why a few locals built one place for everything Fredericton: the events, the guides, the answers, and yes, the sweatshirt.
Honestly, we were just so tired of having to check a million different places to figure out what was going on. So we made the one thing we wish we had.
Amanda, Hey Freddy

Hey Freddy, we live here too. And if you haven’t heard about Hey Freddy, I’m here to tell you all about it. So basically, Hey Freddy is a hub for everything Fredericton, all in one place: events, things to do, local services, all of it. Honestly, we were just so tired of having to check a million different places to figure out what was going on, so we made the one thing that we wish we had. The whole idea is to bring everyone together in one place, because when we can see what’s going on, we can all show up for our local businesses and all the great events that are happening in our city. And this is exactly how we create a community. And you can ask Freddy anything, like what’s open, things to do, what’s happening this weekend, all of it. Anyway, we love exploring the city with you, so come say hi at heyfreddy.ca.

The SilverFish Photography Collective presents: "Equivalents"
Free🎨 galleries
For 25 years, the Silverfish Photography Collective, a group of photographers based in Fredericton, New Brunswick, have exhibited thought-provoking concepts through photography and a diverse range of image-making processes. The UNB Art Centre is open Mon. - Fri., 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., and for special events.
Still Here: Preserving Our Legacy
🎨 galleries
Still Here brings together the stories of Black families whose presence in New Brunswick stretches back centuries. The exhibition weaves together historical documents, first-person accounts, original poetry by Thandiwe McCarthy, and photographs by Gary Weekes to explore themes of heritage, community, resilience, and identity across generations. An accompanying book of the same name, published by Goose Lane Editions, combines these elements into a single volume available through the Beaverbrook Boutique. The exhibition runs through December.
Beaverbrook Art Gallery Exhibits
🎨 galleries
The Beaverbrook's permanent collection spans more than 7,000 works by New Brunswick, Canadian, and international artists. Running through the end of the year are three exhibitions: Jake Kimble's recent work in video, prints, self-portraits, and beadwork, exploring the body as a site of vulnerability and Indigenous experience; Document/ary, featuring 14 contemporary photographers from Atlantic Canada examining the space between documentary and document; and Still Life: So Much Depends, a survey of the genre from its practical origins through modernist experimentation.
