Get into the holiday spirit with our list of the best “Christmassy” things to do in Nova Scotia.
Christmas Craft Shows
Shop local over the holidays at one of the many Christmas Craft Shows around the province. Browsing through busy markets filled with local crafts, treats, and products is an annual tradition for many, and you can find the season’s craft show schedule here.
Tree for Boston Send-Off
Every year, Halifax sends a Christmas tree to Boston to thank them for their help and support during the 1917 Halifax Explosion. Before the tree begins its journey to Boston, a send-off ceremony takes place in the Parade Square. Complete with lights, fireworks, and live music, the celebration offers a real sense of pride for the city. Join the event and stay up to date on the tree’s whereabouts on its Facebook page!
