Celebrate African Heritage Month in Downtown Halifax

This year’s African Heritage Month provincial theme is “Legacy in Action: Celebrating Black Brilliance.” This theme highlights the living legacy of Black Nova Scotians, honouring the impact and perseverance of the long-standing community. It highlights the greatness we hold, the paths we lead through our deep connection with our elders, storytelling, the rhythms of change, and the ability to look back to move forward. 

For the last two years, DHBC has created light shows to celebrate this special month through our DELIGHTFUL DOWNTOWN lighting program. Even though we don't have a show this year, we wanted to share our show from 2023 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQvZ02FbMgM
