Southern Victoria is a village in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. It was formed through the 2023 New Brunswick local governance reforms.

History

Southern Victoria was incorporated on January 1, 2023 via the amalgamation of the former villages of Aroostook and Perth-Andover as well as the concurrent annexation of adjacent unincorporated areas.^[1]

Geography

The village is divided by the Saint John River.

Attractions

Southern Victoria is host to the annual Gathering of the Scots Festival^[2] at Veteran's Field on the last weekend in May and the Larlee Creek Hullabaloo^[3] in August, held at Baird's Campground. Other major events in the Village are the Tuff Muck Challenge on the last Saturday in July and the Dam Run marathon on the first Saturday in October.
