Celebrating the city's 123rd Natal Day (1895 – 2018), the Halifax-Dartmouth Natal Day Festival runs from Friday, August 3rd until Monday, August 6th, 2018.
A total of 30 individual events include; family activities, live music, road races, entertainment showcase, comedy night, busker performances, the Mayor & Council Garden Party in both Halifax & Dartmouth and one of the oldest parades in Atlantic Canada. In addition, we hold three spectacular fireworks shows throughout the weekend; from a barge in Halifax Harbour on August 4th, at the Halifax Common on August 5th and at Lake Banook on August 6th.
Created with a commitment to provide low cost/no cost activities wherever possible, there’s something special planned for every age.
