Downtown Shopping Spree Trail
- Fuel up before you start your shopping adventure with a coffee or cold drink from Grounded Coffee Bar in Historic Properties.
- Located at 1869 Upper Water Street, the Historic Properties is filled with unique, locally owned and operated shops including Lisa Drader-Murphy’s flagship store, Colwell’s Clothing, Carrefour Atlantic Emporium and the Puffin Gallery, Northern Watters Knitwear and Tartan Shop, Twisted Willow, K Penton Art, and more. Pick up some local gifts and souvenirs.
- Walk down the Waterfront Boardwalk towards the new COWS store at The Cable Wharf, 1751 Lower Water Street. Browse their fun 'Haute Cowture' clothing and other souvenirs.
- Continue your walk down Lower Water Street. Check out Strange Adventures Comics & Curiosities at 5110 Prince Street, and pop into Maps & More: The Travel Store - a hidden gem of a travel store - located in Summit Place at 1601 Lower Water Street.
- As you continue down Lower Water Street, stop into the Halifax Brewery Market at 1496 Lower Water Street. There you will find some hidden gems like the Halifax Bra Store, Suit Yourself, Patagonia Halifax, Yu Yo Craft Supply + Tea House, and Ruffles & Tassels.
- The final stop is Bishop’s Landing, 1475 Lower Water Street. Browse the beautiful jewellery at FRIDA Fine Jewellery, pick up a new plant at Audrey Too, and check out the latest fashions at URBN-ish and MXM Fashions.
- Finally, give your feet a break and grab a seat on Sea Smoke Restaurant & Bar's Waterfront patio for some fresh sushi and a drink. You deserve it, afterall, shopping is exhausting!
