An exciting Halifax festival or event brings out the best of Nova Scotia’s authentic Maritime culture and completes your Halifax vacation experience!
Whether you’re a theatre and film buff, outdoor enthusiast, culinary aficionado, or music lover, let Destination Halifax help you decide what to do on your next Halifax holiday. The Halifax arts and culture scene, fostered by the raw talent of the region, thrives – and with good reason!
A number of Halifax events and festivals are set to showcase creativity and inspire adventure, including two comedies at historic Neptune Theatre - Legally Blonde: The Musical in Fountain Hall and Eighteen in Scotiabank Studio. The annual Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo makes a big impression, featuring over 2,000 performers and an impressive display of piping and drumming. The music continues with the TD Halifax Jazz Festival, Atlantic Canada’s largest music festival.
Rugged landscapes and wild seascapes south of Halifax’s urban core inspire the Peggy’s Cove Area Festival of the Arts, showcasing the talents of painters, potters, sculptors, woodworkers, and Halifax arts of all varieties in a beautiful setting.
