Hot summer weather is in full swing, and people are flocking to the downtown core to catch some sun despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Thanks to a new initiative, they’ll also get the chance to eat meals outside and enjoy some music. The City of Fredericton announced Wednesday that it’s launching a partnership with Downtown Fredericton and Business Fredericton North called “Fredericton al fresco.” The city said the initiative will see almost 60 picnic and bistro-style 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.
