Hey Hali!

Lots going on this week with three great festivals plus a packed lineup of live music, comedy and sports. Let’s get right into it!

🍽️ Dine Around Halifax is Back!

February is the best time to eat your way through the city! Dine Around is serving up exclusive prix-fixe menus at Halifax’s best restaurants, with dishes you won’t find any other time of year. Whether you’re craving a cozy comfort meal or something totally new, this is your chance to explore Halifax’s food scene without breaking the bank. Grab your crew, book a table, and dig in! 🍷🔥

📽️ Nova Scotia Retro Film Festo

Get ready to relive some classic Nova Scotian cinema at the inaugural Nova Scotia Retro Film Festo, running from January 30 to February 2, 2025, at Carbon Arc Cinema in Halifax. The festival will showcase local gems like New Waterford Girl—a quirky coming-of-age tale set in Cape Breton—and other regional favorites. It’s a perfect chance to catch these films back on the big screen and celebrate our province’s rich film history.
