March Break is here (in case you hadn’t heard)! There is A LOT going on around HRM, so we’re not going to try to fit it into this email; if you’re on the lookout for March Break activities, though, you should definitely check out our “March Break Guide” and event calendar.
This week is filled with great stuff (and it’s not just concerts and kiddos)! So much, in fact, that our “top picks” are really just scratching the surface. If you’re a lover of Music, Theatre, movies, stories, or “Boy Aquarium”, you’ll definitely find something here to love.
🍀Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day, so you’ll want to take a look at the calendar to start making your plans now; pace yourself, though – there are several great events in town that will likely be sold out by showtime, so you’ll want to make sure you’re in ready rock all week long!!
| 🎟️ Hot Tickets |
| Merry Melodramas Presents: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club! – Merry Melodramas returns to Dartmouth with their latest “tribute musical.” These shows are a lot of fun and often sell out; this time around, they’re focused on the music of the Beatles, so you’ll likely want to get your tickets as early as possible! March 20th and 21st @Sanctuary Arts Centre. MORE INFO |
| 2026 Men’s Hockey University Cup – Let’s face it, the Olympic Hockey didn’t go exactly as planned this year. This week, you can heal that wound by enjoying the rush of a live playoff game(s). Hockey fans (and newly minted fans of “boy aquarium) are sure to have a great time, no matter who takes home the top prize. March 19th – 22nd @Scotiabank Centre. MORE INFO |
| The MacMillan’s Camp Boys – In a week packed with great shows and events, this Thursday night gem may sneak by, so, frankly, we’re using our editorial powers to boost it a bit. The MacMillan’s Camp Boys knock it out of the park pretty much always- and the new Bearly’s House of Blues and Ribs has been offering some really great nights out. March 19th @Bearly’s House of Blues and Ribs. MORE INFO |
| 🧤Date Night |
Shaggy Dog: Stories At The Carleton – This promises to be a really fun night out. Great stories, easy atmosphere, sounds like a good date night to us! March 19th @The Carleton. MORE INFO |
Yi Yi – You won’t, not, cry at this film screening. It will be well worth it, though. This is a masterful film and an unforgettable experience. March 20th @Carbon Arc Cinema. MORE INFO |
Spring Equinox Stargazing & Bison Tour – Bison are not the most romantic animal we can think of, but they’re also not the least… this is a pretty fantastic opportunity for a memorable night out. March 20th @Lindsay Lake Farms. MORE INFO |
| 🥳 Treat Yourself |
| Tom Green: Stompin’ Comedy Tour – Tom Green has been on an interesting journey through comedy. If you love Tom Green, this show is a no-brainer. If you hate Tom Green, you may want to take a look at what he’s been up to lately before ruling this show out. March 21st @The Rebecca Cohn. MORE INFO |
The Curio Collective Spring Vintage Show – If you love a good Market, these shows tend to be REALLY GREAT MARKETS. March 21st and 22nd @Light House Arts Centre. MORE INFO |
Waiting for Guffman – If you’re flying solo for the night, why not do so surrounded by community, enjoying and laughing at a film about community? March 21st @Carbon Arc. MORE INFO |
