The Start of Patio Season
The countdown to our favourite season of the year – patio season – is officially on! 🍹
Patio season officially beings on April 15th, the day when restaurants and cafes can begin setting up their seasonal outdoor patios or cafes.
And we can't wait! Afterall, there’s nothing like dining al fresco in the summer months, especially when you can bring your furry friends along for the fun!

Argyle Street Goes Pedestrian
Argyle Street is the heart of Halifax’s Entertainment District. 🎉
This vibrant street is packed with restaurants, pubs, and bars, making it the go-to spot for live music, nightlife, theatre, and al fresco dining.
Starting in April, Argyle Street, between Prince and Blowers Street, will once again close to vehicular traffic but will remain open for pedestrians, cyclists, rollerbladers, dancers – you name it!
This seasonal closure, lasting until November, is designed to make the street more accessible and enjoyable for both locals and visitors during the warmer months.
Stay tuned for the official closure date coming soon!

Nothing says summer like the iconic sight and sounds of the Harbour Hopper cruising through Downtown Halifax. 🐸
Halifax's most popular boat tour offers a fun, fast-paced adventure by both land and sea, and it’s back for the season starting May 1!
If you’ve never experienced a Harbour Hopper tour, this is the summer to check it off your list!
