About location

Grand Falls lies along the Saint John River, where a wooded river valley cuts through northwestern New Brunswick’s rolling uplands. The river is the defining force here: at Grand Falls it drops into a rock gorge, giving the town its name and a striking focal point within a largely agricultural district. Grand Falls is a service centre on Route 2, the Trans-Canada Highway, placing the community on a major east–west road corridor across the province. Potato farming remains central to the local economy and identity, celebrated through the annual Grand Falls Potato Festival. Its location close to Quebec also gives the upper Saint John valley a strong French-speaking presence.
