Alma fleet launch
One of the most celebrated days in the village— Alma Fleet Launch: it matters here as it connects what’s important to New Brunswickers: the people who harvest its seafood, the communities that depend on fishing, and the visitors who help sustain our coastal economy.
Our Fleet Launch celebrations highlight our local fishing families who are at the heart of the industry’s attractions including the tide phenomenon, the Bay of Fundy’s unique and endlessly challenging tide schedule, the food, scenery and our Maritime lifestyle.
Join the send off today at 12:45 at the Alma Village wharf. The beautiful new (anonymously funded) timber-frame Alma Pavillion is the perfect gathering place!

Love Alma, I wish I could go down to see the sendoff. Such a gorgeous place, and lovely people.

Beautiful town. Seeing the boats laying on the beach is certainly a sight, I'd love to see them at sea. I got covered in classic fundy mud here, assuming that since it's a tourist destination they'd have somewhere to wash. Every other fundy beach I'd been to had something, at minimum just a tub or boot scrubbers. Found absolutely nothing anywhere in town until a friendly local hosed me down with their garden hose.
