Events

FOUR KEY EVENTS:

Party with a Purpose: Each was unique, with its own theme and that is what dictated where it was held. While some were in bars, others were in non-traditional spaces. For instance a Party with a Purpose could be tied to a beach clean-up.

Faces of Fusion: A fun night out, held the first two years at the Union Club. Tickets were around $20/$25 and the only stipulation was you couldn’t sit with someone you knew. It was about people getting out and meeting new faces.

Canada Day Countdown: Now an established, annual event hosted by Market Square, it began as a Fusion event. Before that Canada Day was boring in Saint John – a weird flea market on King’s Square (still there) and fireworks at night. Fusion got sponsors, booked indie bands and turned it into a party – starting the night before. It created an event destination in Saint John and built pride.

Harvesting the Arts Festival: A showcase for young artists that draws people into King’s Square and the Uptown on the weekend.
