Halifax is a place to experience. We love our city and we invite you to experience more of it.

NEIGHBOURHOODS Visit some of Halifax’s most interesting communities – the picturesque waterfront (Stayner’s), the arts loving North End (The Company House), the ‘culture dome’ of Argyle Street (Seahorse Tavern) and many other places and venues that support live music year-round.

HOME Introduce yourself to the new home for creative music – 1313 Hollis.
