Fall in Love! 7 Fall Date Ideas in Fredericton!

As the warm days turn into chilly nights, we start to change out our summer clothes for the warm and cozy ones, knowing that sweater weather is near! But just because the sun has decided to rest for a bit, doesn’t mean we have to. Fredericton is full of fun activities all year round for everybody to enjoy. As some may say, it is ‘cuffing’ season so grab your special someone or that friend you’ve been dying to take out and hit some of these awesome fall date destinations!
The Apple of Your Eye
Tired of being held up in the house due to a certain unwanted visitor this past summer? Don’t let COVID stop you from enjoying the brisk fall air at some of the best apple orchards in the city! Fill your buckets with the best apples around and take in some spectacular fall views all while enjoying the company of a special someone!
Carve Out Some Time with Your Lover
Taking on an art activity for a date can be nerve wracking, but carving pumpkins is ok because not many people are actually good at it! Grab some pumpkins at Moxon’s Country Pumpkin or The Silver Valley Farms in Maugerville; or grab one closer to town at the Boyce Farmers Market! Do your best carving, drink some warm cider, and don’t worry, it’s ok to laugh!
All the Ingredients You Need for a Perfect Date
Speaking of pumpkins and cider, both can be found at the Boyce Farmers Market every Saturday morning! Enjoy perusing the food vendors, grazing as you go! Or maybe grab some food from one of the food vendors and head to the Green for a nice picnic!
The market also has tons of ingredients needed to make the most delicious fall and thanksgiving desserts! If the date is going well so far, maybe enjoy some afternoon baking together and share your favorite recipes!
Picture Perfect
Looking for that perfect pic to as a keepsake (or Instagram?) Take a drive through the amazing fall colors that fill our trees and make a few stops at some of the best photoshoot spots! Be sure to wear your best fall outfits to this date and post your amazing pictures for everyone to see (it’s never too soon to make it IG official)!
Show Your True Colors, Just Like the Trees
One of the best things about fall is the amazing colors emerging from our beautiful trees. You definitely have to take full advantage of that and go for a nice stroll around town! Fredericton has over 120km of trail for you to explore, as well as Odell Park, a 333- acre park right in the center of the city just calling our your name (and your camera)!
Always in Season
Craft beer and cider are always in season, there’s no question about that. Especially when you’re in the craft brewing capital in Atlantic Canada! You will never run out of options of beers to try with 26 local producers, and let’s not forget about the #FredTapTrail, with all of our taprooms on the list! Get all your stamps and collect some awesome Taproom Trail swag!
A Pumpkin Spice Coma
A coffee date is always a safe option, lots to talk about, some good people watching, and always an easy way out if things turn south! Not to mention the amazingly tasteful coffee being offered by our local cafés here in Fredericton! The classic fall drink as everyone knows, is pumpkin spice. Make it a tour, hit all the spots and devour their take on the well-known pumpkin spice at any of these Fredericton cafés!
So, you’ve got the ideas, and the locations, now all you need is that special someone! Don’t be scared to step out of your comfort zone this fall and try something new! No love interests? No problem.
