When spring starts to bloom in Uptown Saint John, it is the perfect time to gather, explore, and dig into something delicious. Uptown Burger Week returns April 27 to May 3, 2026, bringing together local restaurants, creative chefs, and a community that loves a good reason to get together. Limited-time burgers are being served up all week long, your invitation to make plans with your burger crew and enjoy one of Uptown’s tastiest traditions.
