Learn with Brilliant Labs during their 4-day stop motion animation intensive. Create, film, and record a short feature film.

Discover the arts with an afternoon art workshop at the Saint John Free Public Library.

Spend quality family time together uptown over the March Break!

Book a room at Hilton Saint John or Delta Hotels by Marriott Saint John for some stay-cation or bay-cation fun. Plan to spend a night with the Saint John Sea Dogs at one of their home games. Visit the Canada Games Aquatic Centre for one of their fun or leisure swims. Check out the Imperial Theatre’s free concert, Ovation: Celebrating Everyday Heroes or their free afternoon movie, Kung Fu Panda. Test your skills at Woodchucks Axe Throwing (for ages 12+).

Share a meal together at any of our uptown restaurants. Get your brunch on at Cora’s. Grab a sweet treat from the Freak Lunchbox, Wild Flours Sweets & Treats, or the Sugar Spider.

March Break doesn’t have to be just for the kids. It is also the perfect excuse to get a sitter for a night and have a parents’ night out on the town.

Grab a brew and take in some live music at a bar uptown, like Wasted Day Brewing or O’Leary’s Pub. Spend the night laughing out loud at Brett Forte live at Punch Lines Comedy Club.
