The NCANB 2024 Summer Fest was an unforgettable event that brought together over 1000 participants from all corners of New Brunswick. This year’s fest was a vibrant celebration of our community’s spirit, culture, and togetherness, and it exceeded all expectations in every way.

From the moment the venue was opened, the energy was electrifying. Families, friends, and newcomers alike gathered under the sunny skies to enjoy a day filled with fun, laughter, and connection. Our vendors were thrilled to see their stocks completely sold out, thanks to the enthusiastic support from attendees and amazing volunteers.

The kids were treated to a day of endless fun, with games, activities, and entertainment designed just for them. Their laughter and excitement were contagious, reminding us all of the simple joys of community and celebration.

For the adults, the live music performances were a highlight of the day. Talented artists took the stage and kept the crowd dancing and singing along to their favorite tunes. The DJ music added another layer of excitement, ensuring there was never a dull moment.

Of course, no celebration is complete without great food and drinks, and the 2024 Summer Fest did not disappoint. From traditional Nigerian delicacies to refreshing beverages, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The delicious food, unique crafts, and entertainment added to the festive atmosphere. With so many opportunities to network and connect, the event also fostered new friendships and strengthened our bonds as a community.

As we reflect on the success of this year’s event, we’re already looking forward to what’s in store for 2025. The NCANB Summer Fest has become a beloved tradition, and we can’t wait to do it all again next year!
