There’s something about post-thanksgiving, pre-Halloween, that settling-into-fall vibe that has our families all warm and fuzzy…Makes for a good time to get out for art at night, clear some clutter, twinkle in some lights and catch a supernova!

1. Nocturne, Art at Night is a fall festival that brings art and energy to the streets of Halifax between 6 and midnight. The festival runs from 13^th-15^th, it’s free and showcases the visual arts scene in Halifax! It’s designed and planned mostly by volunteers and is an opportunity for everyone to experience the art of Halifax in a whole new light!

2. Halifax Curbside Giveaway Weekend – Whoever said, “nothing in life is free” must not know about Halifax’s Curbside Giveaway weekend. It’s the perfect time to de-clutter AND get some free stuff. Rain or shine, all weekend long. Get out and enjoy the treasure hunt!
