Where is the festival?
The festival takes place in the historic uptown area of Saint John, New Brunswick, at the Kent Theatre. Located at 24 Coburg St., this building has served as a movie theatre, a Knights Of Columbus hall, and currently serves as the Chinese Community Centre. It contains many rooms, which will be used for our workshops all weekend.
There is limited parking at the theatre, which is accessible from Peter St., free on-street parking all weekend, and a paid covered parking garage a short walk away. If staying at an uptown hotel, you may wish to just keep your car there and walk to the theatre.
