Twelve Things To Do On A Rainy Day
by Discover Miramichi
You’ve spent your summer days gallivanting along the beach or floating down the river in a tube beneath clear blue skies; but, then it finally happens, the dark grey clouds roll in followed by an epic down-pour. While the Miramichi region is renowned for being Atlantic Canada’s Great Outdoors, every now and again you want to have a great day… indoors which is why Discover Miramichi has come up with twelve rainy day activities for you!
Farmers Market
Is it a Friday or Saturday? If so, stop by the Newcastle or Water Street Farmers Market to check out some of the creations from local vendors. While shopping, grab a bite to eat since the market offers eat in or take out meals. You can find handmade jewelry, cold pressed soaps, organic produce, pottery and much more!

Little Big Bear Safari
Rain or shine, Little Big Bear Safari is an amazing opportunity to see black bears up close in their natural habitat. You can watch Richard “the bear whisperer” interact with them from the safety of your observation tower. Beware, your heart just might be melted once you see the mama bears showing off their cubs
