For the past month, we still have a little bit of a hangover with the holiday season. With the time flies so fast we are again in the next month and it is the shortest month of the year! Regardless, Halifax still has many events to offer! We also have a lot to celebrate during this month including African Heritage Month, Valentine’s Day, and Nova Scotia Heritage Day.
Here are the events to watch out from Family Fun Halifax:
