Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo

With performances ranging from highland dancers to acrobats to military bands, the Tattoo is seven jam-packed days of culturally-rich entertainment. A blend of Canadian and international acts —with some as far-flung as Germany and Kenya— this festival aims to combine traditional Maritime standbys (like bagpipes) with more eclectic, global offerings (like trapeze shows). With a family-friendly vibe, the Tattoo is a great option for an outing with the kids or grandparents. Check out the whole lineup on their website.
