Destination St. Johns

In St. John’s, you’ll feel right at home, no matter the colour of your jersey. We are known for our wide-open spaces, both indoor and out, allowing us to host a variety of successful sporting events year-round.

Destination St. John’s (DSJ) welcomes the opportunity to work with Provincial Sport Organizations (PSOs) and Local Sport Organizations (LSOs) to help you plan. If you and your affiliate member clubs and associations are interested in submitting a bid on an event, we can assist in planning and offer promotional assistance to your host committees in many ways.

Known for its colorful row houses, stunning coastal landscapes, and rich maritime history, St. John’s offers unique attractions for all. Visitors can explore Signal Hill, where breathtaking views meet historical sites, or hike the East Coast Trail for a close-up of Newfoundland’s dramatic coastline. The city’s vibrant arts scene, local music, and exceptional culinary offerings, especially fresh seafood, bring Newfoundland’s culture to life. With warm hospitality and a mix of modern amenities and historic charm, St. John’s provides an unforgettable experience for every traveler.

A provincial hub for both regional and global airline connections, St. John’s International Airport is a great starting – or ending – point for your journey. Bustling and modern, our airport is serviced by all major Canadian and regional airlines.
