Halifax, Nova Scotia, comes alive with an abundance of interesting activities and events to enjoy throughout April as the chilly winds of winter start to fade and the vivid hues of spring begin to flourish. There is something in Halifax this April for everyone, whether you’re a visitor keen to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the city or a local seeking new experience. Here is a carefully selected list of things you simply must do to make the most of your time in this little seaside city, ranging from outdoor excursions to cultural festivals.
Raise a glass to Nova Scotia’s expansive craft beverage scene
The artisan beverage scene in Halifax is amazing and includes everything from unique spirits to expertly crafted beer. Enjoy some of the best craft beverages Nova Scotia has to offer, whether you prefer craft beer or cocktails.
Head over to Pavilion 22 to Together We Brew, the largest taproom for locally crafted beer in the province. Discover the brewmasters responsible for the creations while sampling craft beer from more than 40 breweries in Nova Scotia.
Connect with the cosmos during the solar eclipse
There’s no better way to see the total solar eclipse that will cross North America on April 8 in Halifax than to visit the Discovery Center.
You will be able to explore the wonders of space exploration by speaking with professionals in the field and seeing the eclipse safely with solar telescopes and eclipse glasses. This cosmic celebration promises to be a lot of fun, with activities like space suit science and lunar mission simulations, as well as galaxy treasure hunts.
Get inspired by a multimedia performance off the beaten trail
Big-name events are usually enjoyable to see, but occasionally the more intimate, obscure acts leave a lasting impression.
See the multimedia show SEASONS at Steeple Green Books, a quaint bookstore housed in a former church, by taking a boat excursion to Musquodoboit Harbour. A contemporary composition by Max Richter, SEASONS is a performance set to Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Seasons humorously examines the cycles of nature with a cast-written word collage, music, and projected text and images in addition to live performance.
Immerse yourself in the captivating narratives and discussions by award-winning authors at a literary festival
Greetings, bookworms! ForeWord is a five-day literary event where booksellers, writers, storytellers, and readers come together in small places. Hear book readings, talks, and stories by award-winning authors in the late evening. Indie Bookstore Day, which wraps up Spring ForeWord, promises freebies, deals, and other exciting surprises. You can purchase individual event tickets or, for $20, an all-access pass.
