Sackville is a lovely town. We were there for the annual Early Music Festival, which was superb. There are many nice places to walk, several great spots for birding, and Mount Allison University has an art gallery with works by Alex Colville. Fog Forest Gallery is small but always worth seeing. Almost everything is in easy walking distance. Unfortunately, a lot of small businesses closed during the worst of Covid-19, and restaurants are few. Many are closed Sunday and Monday. Lots of luck finding breakfast, especially on a Sunday, unless you like MacDonalds. Cranewood is a good spot for coffee, pastries, bread and sandwiches. Fener’s Place is a new casual restaurant with delicious Kurdish food and pizza. It’s worth checking for Avatar Foodtruck on Mondays from April until late fall— it serves amazing Indian food. Sackville Waterfowl Park is worth a visit any time of year.

Sackville is a very interesting town. There is a university (Mount Allison) but for us, it is the surrounding marshlands that are the important factor. With it being November, most tourist places had closed for the season and with Covid restrictions, there wasn't a lot to do. My disappointment was not with the town, but with our accommodations. I don't feel we got what we were charged for and their write-up did not properly reflect what we received. A "bar" and a "Fine dining restaurant" were stated in the write-up, but neither were available.......but price wasn't reflective of this. Very disappointing!

A pleasant, friendly small town with attractive buildings and plenty of things to do. There's a university, a wildfowl park, several interesting places to eat and drink, and various attractions (see the local tourism guide for details). There's easy access to the town via the highway that links New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Beware that many of the downtown shops and restaurants close at 9:00pm though!
