15-time Guinness World Record Breakers and Canadian Madmen, known around the world as the brothers of bodily abuse, The Great Orbax and Sweet Pepper Klopek combine amazing feats and mind blowing stunts with cheeky off the cuff slapstick for a show that can only be described as a ‘two man demolition derby’ .

Rob Roy Collins
You have been begging us year after year to bring Rob Roy Collins from our twentieth anniversary back to the festival. We saved this special performer for just the right occasion, and our silver anniversary is just the time. Rob’s skills have only gotten more refined, and his show along with them. Wait ‘til you see his world record attempt, too!
Throw 2 Catch – The Exports
Hailing from Kouglistan, this trio have left their home and native land to live the American Dream! In this fast-pace performance, acrobatics flow and circus disciplines blend to offer all ages a show of unquestionable quality including: cyr wheel, teeterboard, juggling, ground acrobatics, clowning, and more!
Magic Brian
Incorporating the old and the new to become the best of both worlds! With inspiration from circus sideshow and classic magic effects, he adds his own unique and humorous twist to it all. The goal: to make people laugh, smile, and maybe even soil themselves.
Of A Flame
This Aussie/English duo has fiery chemistry! They will delight and entertain you with their upbeat fire spectacle – an amalgamation of incredible fire manipulation, acrobalance, and dance – as they have done with audiences in over 30 countries around the world.
Brad the Balloon Guy
A darling of our festival each year with his wondrous creations, Brad will ‘blow’ us away this year with the world’s largest balloon animal!
Saint John Ale House
Saint John Alehouse offers outstanding food and beverages boasting 32 beers on tap, and the CASK IPA is brewed by Moosehead exclusively for us. Appetizers include delicious, freshly caught scallops and thick-cut potato chips (called kettle chips locally). Sports fans love the giant-screen TV and congenial atmosphere in the classic Irish pub on the main level; a more sophisticated dining experience can be had upstairs in the restaurant’s cozy, dim-lit booths.
To eat local is to eat with respect.
We are not just passionate about food, we respect where it comes from, how it’s prepared and most of all we respect the people we prepare it for. We utilize the local markets, the chef’s organic farm, artisan butchers, bakeries, fish mongers and even go direct to farms and local fishermen to find the freshest and the best food around. Our menu changes and evolves with the seasons, availability of products and the passionate curiosity of our staff.
Chef Jesse Vergen and his crew take advantage of local New Brunswick ingredients that are available from the land, and sea. We experiment with all seasonal ingredients including, fiddleheads, lobster, halibut, local lamb, beef, and cheeses to inspire our menu. From our in-house bread baking program, to making our own charcuterie, pickling vegetables, butchering whole animals and fish, or dry aging our beef on site, Chef Vergen and his team are always creating dishes that inspire.
Chef Jesse Vergen is a competitor on Top Chef Canada season 4
