Halifax Day

From historic firsts to pirates gone wild, Halifax has it all! From taxis to buses, there is no shortage of ways to get around in Halifax. However, the Halifax Transit Ferry is certainly the most unique way. This harbour ferry service has been connecting the city of Halifax to neighbouring Dartmouth for 269 years. At just over 4km, the Halifax Waterfront features one of the world’s longest continuous boardwalks. If you’ve visited Halifax, you’re probably aware that a cannon goes off at noon every day. With endless farms, land for harvesting, and seafood aplenty on the East Coast, the local farmers’ markets have long been the best place to discover the region’s freshest food and goods.
