Unleash your inner Celtic or cat person, get the power of your mind blown, or find out what it sounds like when musicians break out the toys this weekend in the city!
- Get Re-jigged at a Celebration, in the tradition of the Irish nation; try out New Celtic Music and Dance, a Gala Concert, or a Ceilidh by chance! Everything—over 24 workshops on language, storytelling and more, 3 concerts, and a Late-Night Ceilidh—happens within minutes of Ochterloney Street in downtown Dartmouth. The festival runs Friday to Sunday, so sign up and Jigging!
- Does someone in your house have a collection of porcelain cats on their dresser? Do they binge watch cute kitten videos on YouTube? Well, you simply must take them to this year’s Halifax Halloween Cat Show, Saturday and Sunday at the Forum. Even if it is you who has the Meow Mix song on a constant loop in your head, your kids won’t refuse to join you to watch a Black Cat Competition, enter Saturday’s noon-time cat costume class, or maybe come home with an adorable kitten…Admission is only $5 for adults, $3 for kids.
- Abracadabra, prepare to be amazed! If Penn and Teller admire the guy and J-Lo says he’s awesome, imagine how stoked Alderney landing is to present Spidey’s MAKE BELIEVE performance this Friday night at 7:30. Release the magic of your mind by watching this captivating show by one wicked Canadian sorcerer. Tickets go for just $29 and 23.50 for those 12 & under.
- A free symphony? With tunes by Herbert, Vivaldi, and Mancini? And wait, they’re using toys for instruments? Is this done? Well it will be, and 2 of the 3 shows are already sold out! Register for the free concert at Pier 21 at 1:30 on Sunday to listen to what playthings sound like in the hands of a professional musician.
