Shopping Around
for Unique & Local Gifts

If you are looking for an exceptional gift, these fine stores in Saint John will provide you with some great ideas for you and your loved ones.

Market Square
(506) 658-3600
Saint John's Festival Place

Renowned as Saint John's Festival Place, Market Square is a distinctive blend of shopping, entertainment, enterprise and cuisine. We're open to serve you from first coffee 'til last call; seven days a week year round.

As the leaves begin to fall and the yuletide season approaches, our centre has everything to get you geared up for the chilly months ahead! Forget donning your winter boots and enjoy the convenience of our underground parking garage. Take advantage of our link to the "Inside Connection" - Atlantic Canada's longest indoor pedway system; which opens much of the uptown region to you, including the Hilton Hotel, Canada Games Aquatic Centre, Harbour Station, Shoppes of City Hall, and Brunswick Square. The centre also sits at the foot of the Harbour Passage, which draws over 3,000 people daily, and take in the beauty of autumn in the Maritimes!

Join us on your lunch break for a delicious meal to warm your bones at any one of our restaurants: from the Orient, Asian Palace, for the whole family at Keystone Kelly's, fine dining and seafood at Grannan's, pub style at the Saint John Ale House, the best soup and sandwich in town at Holly's Caf? SoHa - or grab a quick bite from the food court in our Atrium and take in the green and airy park-like atmosphere.

As home to the Saint John Regional Library, the Saint John Trade & Convention Centre, and the New Brunswick Museum, Market Square acts as host to many educational programs. Bring the family out for fun and discovery at the New Brunswick Museum and visit the serenity of the Saint John Regional Library, and finish off the day with dinner and dessert at our family-oriented dining - all with great kids' menus.

Whether you're looking for the perfect gift or treating yourself, we have a variety of exclusive shops with merchandise to suit every taste; from Ambiance Day Spa for rest and rejuvenation, Samuel & Co. for the latest in female apparel, Walsh Luggage for your trusty briefcase or trendy new purse. Take a well-deserved rest from power shopping; make a wish in the fountain, and relax in our Atrium.

This fall, be sure to join us for a taste of Market Square's finest!
