The 4-day event has been held annually since 2002. It attracts 120 teams from every province in Canada, 35 American states, and 15 other countries at a variety of competitive levels. Its emphasis is on camaraderie instead of competition. Over 8000 spectators enjoy games on 20 rinks. Team registration costs $750.
Fiddles on the Tobique is a celebration of old-time fiddle music played in a canoe. (If Canada were not a real place, it would have to be invented.) This annual one-day event offers the chance to float alongside fiddlers playing Maritime music and their accompanying musicians on the Tobique river. Embarking from Nictau, the river run lasts 2 hours on a distance of 10 km (6 miles) and ends at Riley Brook. Around 1300 canoes take to the waters.
