It’s the weekend that the whole world makes up an excuse to have a long weekend, and for us it’s to celebrate the founding of Halifax and Dartmouth. Nothing has been set in stone for this year in terms of performers, but you can definitely expect some fireworks, a talent show, parade, family-focused events and, of course, beer tents! It promises to be the most impressive bridge fireworks display yet, so be prepared for them to last longer than two minutes. We can expect to hear more about performers as we get closer to the actual date, and you can check out natalday.org for updates.
