Day 1: the essentials
The first day is about orientation: see the town, eat well, get your bearings. Day two is for lingering.
America's First Mile
Start outdoors at America's First Mile, one of Edmundston's green spaces. A gentle first stop makes the rest of the day easier to navigate.
Fortin du Petit-Sault Blockhouse
Don't skip Fortin du Petit-Sault Blockhouse. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Day 2: go deeper
Slow down on day two. Revisit a favorite, then see what you missed the first time around.
Grotte de Notre-Dame-du-Lac
Don't skip Grotte de Notre-Dame-du-Lac. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Native Village
Native Village is one of those Edmundston landmarks worth seeing in person. Fold it into the afternoon when the light is good and the pace can relax.
Evenings
Nights are flexible: dinner, then follow the town's energy. The event picks below are real and current.
