Come visit Hartland during our weekend celebrations. 🎉
Belly laughs on the bridge Pier 2, walk the nature trail, engage yourself in the art show and farm market and dance to live music at the Legion. End Saturday evening with a great fireworks display by our own fire department. Fellowship at the church service followed by, of course, food. End the weekend on New Brunswick Day, the destination for New Brunswickers, surrounding provinces, and the state of Maine on the longest covered bridge in the world. The bridge will be closed for our market and will allow you to walk through and admire the 123-year-old structure built by hand by local citizens.
Bring your lawn chair and some water and spend NB Day with live entertainment and a vast display of vendors' products and food trucks. We would love to see our neighbours! Come and enjoy!
