Shanties and Shandies, Maritime Museum of the Atlantic

Sea shanties and Shandies go hand in hand at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Canada’s oldest and largest maritime museum sets spirits afloat. Galleries dedicated to Arctic exploration, Halifax’s Titanic history and the art and craft of boat-making help decipher the eternal call of the sea. Supping, sipping and celebrating in the Small Craft Gallery overlooking Halifax Harbour puts wind in everyone’s sails.

Memories For The Making

Oyster 101: learning to shuck, sauce and suck them back — you’re in Nova Scotia now!

The centre of the east coast music scene; local musicians kept toes tapping all night long.

A heartbeat from your hotel, the walk along the boardwalk at evening’s end keeps you clear-eyed for tomorrow.
