The Saint John Ale House is excited to announce the anticipated Summer Kick-off Party on Thursday, June 22, 2023, starting at 5 p.m.
The event will mark the official arrival of patio season on the boardwalk and offer an unforgettable evening of delicious summer drinks, mouthwatering food and music.
As the summer sun shines down on the Port City, the Ale House is ready to welcome patrons to their newly set up patio area for an exceptional evening of fun and celebration. The Summer Kick-off event will showcase the best of what the Ale House offers, making it the perfect start to the summer season.
One of the highlights of the evening will be the irresistible summer drink feature: The Radler Sangria, a delightful mixture of Moosehead Radler, gin, and cranberry liquor, packed with fruit, including locally sourced rhubarb. The Ale House will also feature its famous wings for only 60 cents per wing, the cheapest in the city!
With the construction of the Fundy Quay development just next store, Saint John Ale House Chef/Owner Jesse Vergen said he wanted to host an event to remind Saint Johners that the boardwalk is open and ready to help people celebrate all summer.
“The Uptown Saint John boardwalk has been the go-to place for soaking up the summer for decades. As the city has grown and changed, it has persevered and remained a staple in its vibrant nightlife,” says Vergen. “We’re hosting this event to remind people the boardwalk is still the place to be this summer. We’re not letting a little construction kill our vibe!”
Whether you’re a local looking for a great night out or a visitor seeking the best that Saint John offers, the Summer Kick-off Party at the Saint John Ale House is a must-attend event.

These works were made in collaboration with both community and place, and reflect effervescent moments of togetherness, awe, wonder, and instances of growth within the context of a shared experience.
The creation of this body of work was supported by the New Brunswick Arts Board and the Saint John Community Arts Board.

VARIATIONS : An exhibition by Nat Cann
2023-07-07 16:00 - 19:00 | Spicer Merrifield Gallery, 116 Prince William St, Saint John, NB, E2L 2B6, Canada
Variations is a collection of Nat Cann’s aggressively colourful paintings both representional and abstracted. Each piece in some way speaks to the visual limitations of information, maximalist abstraction, escapism through digital environments, and the concerns of these fictitious worlds admit the dithering of our own habitation. Yet atop all these swirling notions rests the act of painting as a means of play, and perhaps meditation too.
BIOGRAPHY
Nat Cann (he/him) has exhibited across Canada, and has gratefully acted as a mentor,
instructor, and technical assistant to numerous students and professionals unversed in
printmaking. Nat has been granted numerous residencies and his recent print projects have
been intertwined with a variety of publications, exhibitions, and research grants. His work has
been consistently supported by ArtsNB’s funding programs and the Canada Council for the Arts.
Nat obtained his BFA from Mount Allison University (2012) and now resides in Moncton, New
Brunswick, an Acadian colonial city which sits on the unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik
(Maliseet) and Mi’kmaq People
