We’re headed into Easter weekend, so your planning will likely be pretty mid-week and Saturday-heavy (to make room for attending church mass, of course).
If you are looking to make some Easter plans (particularly the egg-based ones with kiddos), we suggest checking out the calendar here:

Outside of Bunnies, Eggs, Crucifixion and Resurrection, there are still some other really interesting events taking place this week. It’s turned out to be a pretty good week for theatre and comedy, so that’s always a win, but there is also a really great variety of music options available; certainly worth a look!
| 😎 Hot Tickets |
| Someplace Believing: The Musical – This ambitious original musical in Dartmouth is catching attention. Theatre is no stranger to tackling social commentary, this unique take and normalizing mental health challenges seems like it might prove to be an “uplifting” afternoon of truly independent theatre.April 4th @The Sanctuary Arts Centre MORE INFO |
| Instant Classic: An Improvised Movie – Speaking of theatre experiences that lift your spirits, this show looks like a remarkable amount of fun with a knockout lineup of talent.April 2nd @Bus Stop Theatre Co-op MORE INFO |
| Cancer Bats Celebrating 20yrs of Birthing The Giant Live in Halifax – You know a show is big when it inspires a pre-show at another venue. If you’re a fan of Hardcore Punk or Metal, this show is going to be major.April 4th @The Marquee MORE INFO |
| 😍 Date Night |
Tomboy – Make movie night a bit more “cultured” with proper cinema. Enjoy this screening as part of the Céline Sciamma Retrospective at Carbon ArcApril 4th @Carbon Arc MORE INFO |
Open Song Circle with Noah Tye! –The Open Song Circle has been running for a few years now, and it’s always a nice night out. Noah and the gang have moved over to the new Bearly’s (and we love what they’re doing over there), and the new setup has more than earned a spot on the list.March 30th @Bearly’s MORE INFO |
| 😀 Treat Yourself |
| THE PAJAMA PARTY (Cuffing Season) – We don’t always recommend a dating option here, but when we do…it’s because we mean it.

| Easter Brunch at Seaport Social- Call your friends; we’re doing Brunch the proper way this weekend (especially if you’ve spent the night at “THE PAJAMA PARTY”)April 5th @The Westin Nova Scotian MORE INFO |

Halifax Thunderbirds vs. Rochester Knighthawks – East Coast Kitchen Party Night – If you’ve not been to a Thunderbirds game, this is a heck of a good way to start. The game will be great, and the atmosphere will be an absolute banger of a kitchen party.April 4th @Scotiabank Centre MORE INFO |
