Saint John

Summer Games

In 1985, organizers motivated the city of Saint John, New Brunswick to change public perception from it can’t happen in Saint John to it’s going to happen in Saint John. The invigorated community created the Festival by the Sea to accompany the Games, which are still remembered for the many ways in which Maritime culture and music enlivened them.
