CULTURE

Uptown Saint John has a rich tapestry of culture visible in the many historic buildings and public spaces found in the area. This large nationally significant stock of heritage buildings provides unique opportunities for arts and culture programming and business development. The restored Imperial Theatre is nationally recognition as one of the country’s best performance venues; many art galleries can be found throughout the uptown making it one of the highest per capita concentrations of art galleries in the country. 

The New Brunswick Museum’s uptown location helps to tell the story of New Brunswick and Saint John. Harbour Station, also located uptown, is the largest Venue in Southern New Brunswick offering a continual stream of top notch performances from Quebec Major Junior Hockey to Elton John to Cirque de Soliel.  

The Fauburg Francophone centre is a meeting and entertainment venue on Prince William Street in the historic Bank of New Brunswick building. The Chinese Center on Coburg Street provides a cultural meeting and entertainment venue for the Asian population. Jewish and Greek populations also have their community meeting venues in the uptown. Uptown is a kaleidoscope of culture.
