What’s happening around our beautiful city? Enjoy our month-at-a-glance listing of ongoing events in November happening in Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Sackville, and beyond!

November is here – one of the finest months on the East Coast. Nature’s colours have shifted to beautiful muted tones and the snow usually is polite enough to hold off so we can enjoy the last of the Fall hikes, bike rides and outdoor activities. With the holidays just around the corner, there are also a huge amount of family-friendly events and markets galore. We have a full month ahead packed with parades, holiday festivities and fun.

Our month-at-a-glance highlights some of the family-friendly events in November and if you are looking for upcoming events, the Family Fun Halifax calendar is continually being updated with the latest news. Also, each Wednesday, we publish our ‘Weekend Roundup’ – family friendly Halifax events for the upcoming weekend. Happy November, everyone!
