Freddy Local guide to the Wild Blueberry FlavourFest, Fredericton region, August 23 to 30 2026, hosted by Bleuets NB Blueberries in partnership with Dairy Farmers of New Brunswick

August 23 to 30, 2026· Fredericton region

Wild Blueberry FlavourFest: what each place is actually serving

The official FlavourFest site lists 57 participating locations, with an address for each and nothing about the food. So we are ringing every one of them and asking what is actually on the plate.

47 dishes confirmed at 23 venues so far, and we are still calling.

Last updated August 21, 2026. Menus and availability can change, so it is worth a quick call before you set off.

The official list gives you a name and an address. It does not tell you what is being served, and it does not tell you who has since shut. We checked every venue against current business records: 5 have closed outright and 1 told us directly they are not taking part this year. Both are listed at the bottom so you do not waste a trip.

Run one of these restaurants?

Tell us what you are serving and we will put it on this page. It takes a minute, you can send a phone photo, and there is no charge. This is the only page that lists the actual dishes, so it is worth being on.

Add your menu

There is a prize, and most people will miss it

Eat something on this page, then tell the organisers about it, and you are in the draw for one of 10 New Brunswick FlavourFest Boxes: wild blueberry products, local cheeses, yogurt, artisan snacks and recipe cards. No purchase necessary. Entries open Sunday August 23 at 7am Atlantic, and there are QR codes at participating locations that take you straight there.

If you post a photo, the organisers ask you to use #BerriesAndDairy and tag both Bleuets NB Blueberries and Dairy Farmers of New Brunswick. Official site and entry form

Confirmed, straight from the restaurant

On the official list, dish not confirmed yet 34

These are on the organiser’s 2026 participant list and we have verified each one is still open and trading. What we have not got yet is the dish, because the official listing does not carry one. We are working through them by phone. Ring ahead rather than turning up hoping. This page updates as answers come in.

Not taking part this year

Not on the 2026 list, and they confirmed to us directly that they are sitting this year out. Here because people remember them taking part before.

  • Gahan House Riverside(506) 454-1929426 Queen StConfirmed by phone that they are not taking part in 2026.

Bed and breakfasts taking part

Bleuets NB tracks these separately from the restaurants, and so do we. Several serve their own guests rather than the public, so call ahead before turning up expecting a table. They are listed here because they are genuinely part of the week, not because you can walk in.
