You can literally find something for everyone on your Christmas list – fine art, crafts, pottery, decorations, bird houses, feeders and seeds, antiques and collectibles, woodworking, soaps, sea salt, baking, maple syrup, wine, sweet treats of all description, and a wide variety of dining options. You can even take advantage of Early Bird pricing and pick up an entrance pass for 2026 for Fundy National Park. You could easily spend the entire weekend enjoying every venue including a Bed and Breakfast with CITC specials!
There will be an electronic map of the vendors on Facebook at the Christmas in the Country page. There will be print maps at the vendors, and other locations like gas stations and grocery stores once registration is completed and the current list is finalized.
