Sussex is a town in Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada. Sussex is located in south central New Brunswick, between the province's three largest cities, Saint John, Moncton, and Fredericton.
Sussex straddles the Kennebecasis River, 70 km (43 mi) northeast of Saint John, and is a major dairy product producer in the province. It is home to Atlantic Canada's largest hot air balloon festival.
On 1 January 2023, Sussex amalgamated with the village of Sussex Corner and part of the local service district of the parish of Sussex.[2][3] Revised census figures have not been released, although combining the 2016 census numbers[4] the total population would be approximately 5,900.[citation needed]
