Feature Event: A Family Adventure on Georges Island!

Ahoy, mateys! This summer, grab your crew and set sail for Family Fun Days on Georges Island—Halifax’s hidden treasure. Dive into escapades with treasure hunts, explore secret tunnels, and discover the island’s storied past. It’s not pirate themed, but it certainly sounds like a lot of pirate activities to us. Little buccaneers can enjoy games, while the whole family can picnic like seafaring rogues. Mark your maps for select Mondays in August (such as today), and get ready to create legendary memories on the high seas. You can even pre-order a picnic from Parks Canada, or Sapori Italian Street Food!

For more details, visit Family Fun Days.
