A Century of Flowers and Memories
Keirstead’s Flower Shop has been blooming in Saint John since 1925, making us one of the city’s oldest and most beloved businesses. We started out with one man’s passion for flowers in a little market stall, and grew into a flourishing shop that still stands at the corner of Charlotte and Princess – the same spot we’ve called home since the 1940s. Our historic building has seen it all, from wartime weddings to modern-day graduations. Over the decades, four generations of the Keirstead family tended to this shop and to the community’s floral needs, creating bouquets for countless birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and all heartfelt moments in between.
Fast-forward to today, and the legacy lives on stronger than ever. In 2021, a local entrepreneur stepped in to preserve this piece of Saint John history, ensuring that the lights stayed on windows stayed decorated and the blooms kept coming for our 100th year – and beyond. We carry forward the same commitment to quality and personal service that Keirstead’s has been known for since day one but now with an online presence as well. The original vintage coolers from the ’40s still store our fresh flowers, and the spirit of old Saint John mingles with new ideas in our shop every day. This centennial is not just about celebrating a number – it’s about celebrating you, our community, and all the memories we’ve made together over a century.
You’re Invited – Celebrate with Us!
This 100-Year Anniversary Celebration is our way of saying thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey. Whether you’ve been a loyal customer for decades or you’re a new face who loves flowers, we welcome you to join the festivities. Bring your family and friends, enjoy a piece of cake, share your favorite Keirstead’s story or memory, and soak in the nostalgic atmosphere. so it’s not just a party – it’s a trip down memory lane.
Mark your calendars for Sept 2–6, 2025 and drop by any time during that week (we’re open 9am–4pm Mon–Wed, 9am–6pm Thur–Fri, and 9am–4pm Sat). It’s going to be a fun, festive, and elegant affair – the perfect blend of old-time charm and modern celebration.

After a summer break, No Jokes Barred is back at Wasted Day Brewing for the first time since May — and we’re bringing the beautiful chaos with us.
Brand-name comedy clubs are fine, but here you get something different — something unpredictable. At No Jokes Barred, there’s no corporate filter, no “safe bet” lineups. This is where you see the wild ideas, the strange characters, the jokes that soar, and the ones that crash spectacularly. And that’s exactly why it’s worth showing up.
💥 The Show
Saint John’s longest-running uncensored comedy showcase has been breaking the formula since 2014, giving comedians the freedom to take big swings in front of a crowd that’s here for whatever happens. You might see the funniest set of your life… or the weirdest thing you’ve ever witnessed on stage. Either way, you leave with a story.
🎭 This Month’s Lineup:
Katelin Dean
Liam McNamara
Jon Nesbitt
Brian Godsoe
Eric Chaisson
Alisdair Edwards
Brittany Patterson
Hosted by Jon Forward
🎯 Overtime Segment:
After the main show, the stage opens up for Overtime — anyone in the crowd can throw their name in the bucket for a chance to do up to 3 minutes. It’s the perfect way for brand-new comics to get their foot in the door, and for the audience to see something truly unpredictable.

This heartwarming musical, inspired by real-life events, celebrates the power of kindness, community, and human connection in the face of unexpected challenges.
