Things to do in Halifax this weekend
A standard Halifax weekend starts on the waterfront. Friday night, the Halifax boardwalk between Pier 21 and the casino fills with restaurant patios, buskers, and the harbour-front events stage.
Casino Nova Scotia's showroom anchors the indoor Friday-night booking calendar with stand-up, music revues and concerts in a 700-seat room. On nights with a Scotiabank Centre arena concert or a Mooseheads home game, the Brunswick Street venue draws the night's biggest crowds.
Friday-night indie picks: the Marquee Ballroom on Gottingen for touring rock and East Coast indie, the Seahorse Tavern on Argyle for bar bands, and the Carleton Music Bar for singer-songwriter acoustic. Saturday afternoon is a Spring Garden Road or waterfront day — Neptune Theatre matinees, the Seaport Farmers' Market, walks along the boardwalk, and during summer the Tall Ships visits and Busker Festival programming.
Saturday night repeats the indie circuit or upgrades to Symphony Nova Scotia at the Spatz. Sundays are slow but reliable — Neptune Theatre matinees, Symphony brunch concerts, family programming at Alderney Landing across the harbour in Dartmouth.
Winter weekends add the Halifax Forum's indoor fairs and Christmas at the Forum from late November.
