It is known as the Fundy City due to its location on the north shore of the Bay of Fundy at the mouth of the Saint John River, as well as being the only city on the bay. You will visit a number of sites that make this city special.

Entertainment  after the Awards Ceremony to be provided by Before The Mast.

Music columnist Gerry Taylor wrote in the Telegraph-Journal:
"... the Saint John area's premier folk act Before the Mast makes shanties and other sea songs an art form. An a cappella  group that varies  the lead and harmony voices, Before the Mast pays homage to our maritime heritage....Before the Mast is just about as energetic as a traditional sea-song singing chorus can get without busting a barnacle. They’re witty too and wrapped-in-canvas entertainers all.....whose seafaring tales, fact and fiction, will astound you."

Jean-Francois Blais commented on his internet radio show Bordel de Mer, recorded at "La Fête des chants de marins" in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, Quebec, “Before the Mast has great energy and presence on stage, rich harmonies, and a wonderful rapport with audiences.” He goes on to say that members of the group “don't merely sing shanties, they live them !”
