Sussex

PROUDLY RURAL… QUAINTLY CHARMING… As the highway winds through the wide open spaces of southern New Brunswick, the lush green landscape surrounding the Town of Sussex, dotted with historic homes, will awaken nostalgic memories. A picture-perfect small rural community – where doors are open to strangers and hospitality is second nature. In this Covered Bridge Capital of Atlantic Canada (there are eight “kissing bridges” within 10 minutes of the Town Hall) you’ll soon realize that farming is more than an occupation, it’s the very fabric of life. The Agriculture Museum of New Brunswick chronicles the town’s close connection to the land, a tradition which is celebrated each year at the Kings County Agricultural Fair during the fourth week of August which is one of the oldest agricultural fairs in North America.

EXPERIENCE SMALL-TOWN CHARM: • MURAL CAPITAL OF ATLANTIC CANADA www.sussexmurals.com • THE ATLANTIC INTERNATIONAL BALLOON FIESTA (WEEKEND AFTER LABOUR DAY) • SUSSEX FLEA MARKET (3RD WEEKEND IN AUGUST) • THE PRINCESS LOUISE PARK SHOW CENTRE: EQUESTRIAN EVENTS • POLEY MOUNTAIN www.poleymountain.com • SUSSEX GOLF & CURLING CLUB sussexgolfandcurlingclub.ca

In downtown Sussex, a stroll down Broad and Main streets will take you to unique shops and wonderful restaurants that offer that hometown service… stop at the historic Sussex Train Station, which now houses the town’s Visitor Information Centre and the 8th Hussars Regimental Museum. Continue walking and see 22 larger-thanlife murals. This one-of-a-kind “outdoor art gallery” is a tribute to our rich local history that can be enjoyed by visitors and residents alike. No matter how you spend your time in Sussex, one thing’s for sure, you’ll leave with the knowledge that, in some places, contentment can still be found in the simplest of pleasures.
