HFX Civic Events’ Canada Day Concert

While the city is offering a full day’s worth of activities at the scenic port, it’s the evening concert that’s really worth noting.
This free, outdoor show might just be the most talked-about event of the long weekend—and if you see the line-up, it’s little wonder why: Pop-rockers Dear Rouge and Born Ruffians share the stage with Montreal’s DJ Kid Koala before local R’n’B crooner (and Jazz Fest performer!) Reeny Smith shows off her pipes.
The buzziest bit of all though? Vancouver indie darlings (and this week’s Coast cover stars) Yukon Blonde are headlining!

Oh, and if you thought it all ends there, there’s also a fireworks display set off with the Halifax skyline in the background caps off the evening in traditional fashion.
