Festivals & Events
Halifax events and festivals bring out the best of Nova Scotia’s culture. Music lovers head to one of (or all) four Halifax music festivals like the Halifax Pop Explosion and movie goers have the popular Atlantic Film Festival. Seafaring folks find themselves at Halifax Tall Ships 2009 – Atlantic Canada’s most spectacular seaside festival – or watching along during the Bluenose Marathon. For foodies, there’s Savour Food & Wine and Catch NS Seafood Festival. And those looking for something different (like 2000 amazing performers or unjuried, uncensored theatre) will find it at the Royal Nova Scotia Tattoo or the Atlantic Fringe Festival. And this is just the beginning.
