On Canada Day, the green at Long Bay's Taproom becomes a place to throw, laugh, and compete. Located at 3015 Route 845 in Long Reach, New Brunswick, the Taproom hosts a three-hour Cornhole Tournament on Wednesday, July 1 from 2:00pm–5:00pm. Teams of two face off on regulation boards set 27 feet apart in double-elimination play while cider pours from the bar and a cornhole referee keeps matches moving. The field is deliberately compact—maximum 40 people (20 teams)—so expect a tight, social bracket rather than a sprawling fest. Check in early with the cornhole referee, confirm your team name and order, and the team captain receives a complimentary 12oz draft cider as part of registration. Play is straightforward: each player throws four bags per round, scoring 1 point for a bag on the board and 3 points for a hole; games go to 21 with no busts. Foot faults are enforced from the front edge of the board, and the tournament runs best-of-one for each matchup to keep the afternoon lively. Prizes reward both skill and spirit. First place walks away with Long Bay and Yip Cider sweatshirts, gift cards, multi-packs, and branded openers; second and third places receive glassware, hats, cans, and swag; a bonus prize goes to the best team costume. The event is a collaboration between Long Bay and Yip Cider, a blend of local craft beverage culture and grassroots lawn-game competition that highlights the region’s convivial summer scene. Beyond the rules and the prizes, this tournament is an accessible way to plug into Long Reach’s small-community energy. The Taproom’s lawn offers expansive sky and breezes off nearby waters, turning a simple beanbag toss into a summer ritual. If you’re visiting for Canada Day, this event pairs well with an afternoon drive along Route 845, a stop at local coastal lookouts, or an evening catching the sunset over the bay. Practical notes: teams should register by 10:00pm on June 30; arrive early on July 1 to avoid delays; dress for variable summer weather and bring sunscreen and a hat. Expect casual footwear—no technical gear required— and bring good sportsmanship. Whether you’re a veteran shooter or trying cornhole for the first time, the tournament balances competitive bracket play with a friendly festival atmosphere, making it a standout way to celebrate Canada Day in Long Reach. Spectators are welcome to watch, play other lawn games, or sip cider at the taproom between matches. The atmosphere favors relaxed competition and local conversation; someone will always share a strategy or applaud an inventive trick shot. Teams must respect the referee’s calls and venue staff. This event supports small local producers and highlights why Long Bay and Yip Cider are central to summer recreation.
