What’s Next After Rock the Harbour? Halifax’s Must-See Events!

A very busy week in Halifax from Rock the Harbour 2024 and major Halifax Feature events! Rock the Harbour this year featured bands such as Doug and the Slugs, Glass Tiger, Chilliwack, and Nazareth. The question is now: What to do next? We strongly recommend putting next Saturday aside if you have not already for the Mother Goose Festival, which is a free family fun day at Ferry Terminal Park. There will be Bouncy Castles, Treasure Hunts, Puppet Shows and all kinds of fun that little ones can enjoy. Keep an eye on our newly refreshed festivals list: The tickets for many of these September and October festivals are selling out now!
