Celebrating the city’s 124th Natal Day (1895 – 2019), the Halifax-Dartmouth Natal Day Festival runs from Friday, August 2nd until Monday, August 5th, 2019.

A total of 30 individual events include; family activities, live music, road races, entertainment showcase, comedy night, busker performances, the Mayor & Council Garden Party in both Halifax & Dartmouth and one of the oldest parades in Atlantic Canada. In addition, we hold three spectacular fireworks shows throughout the weekend; from a barge in Halifax Harbour on August 3rd, at the Halifax Common on August 4th and at Lake Banook on August 5th.
