💡 Tips

August 15th is National Acadian Day; expect lively celebrations, traditional music, and the 'Tintamarre' noise parade.
Many locals speak French as their first language; a friendly 'Bonjour' goes a long way, though English is widely understood.
The local wharves are busy working areas; be respectful of the fishermen and their equipment when taking photos.
Pack layers, as the weather off Miramichi Bay can be unpredictable, changing quickly from sunny to foggy.
