“Fredericton al fresco” partnership launched to help local restaurants

In support of local restaurants affected by COVID-19, the City of Fredericton is launching a partnership with Downtown Fredericton and Business Fredericton North called “Fredericton al fresco”. The initiative will see almost 60 bistro-style and picnic tables set up in public spaces, on the south side and north side of the city, for use by residents as an extension of available seating at sidewalk cafés and outdoor patios affected by physical distancing. As a result of the cancellation of summer festivals and events due to COVID-19, the city will also be allowing some local food trucks to set up in parking lots serving Odell and Killarney Lake parks.
