HRM is back at it with another great week of diverse shows. If you couldn’t score tickets for the first few “Come From Away” shows at Neptune, or if you’re just looking to fill the rest of your schedule, the calendar is flowing over with great film screenings, music, burlesque, drag, comedy, theatre and more!!
| 😎 Hot Tickets |
Brent Butt –Brent Butt (yeah, the one from Corner Gas) is live at the casino this weekend, and it’s going to be a pretty great time. Why not catch a fun show at the Casino Downtown while it’s still centrally located? April 11th @Casino Nova Scotia MORE INFO |
Tayler Jade Trio with Special Guests The Johnsons – The Tayler Jade Trio and The Johosons are real “if you know, you know” favourites in the local music scene. Having them together in one show makes this a pretty safe bet for a Friday night. April 10th @The Sanctuary Arts Centre MORE INFO |
| Electric Blue Release Show with Sadie Skinner – While we’re stacking your list with great concerts for the weekend, here’s one you shouldn’t miss. Sadie Skinner will likely be selling out pretty big rooms in the near future; that makes this Carlton show even more special. April 4th @The Carleton MORE INFO |
| One Strip Wonders – A fantastic night of Burlesque and Drag without the basement nightclub vibes? Yes please! April 10th @Grafton Street Dinner Theatre MORE INFO |
| 😍 Date Night |
14th Edition of The Underground –We can’t tell you very much about this one, because by design, we don’t know very much. We can tell you that the theme for the show is “Cabaret” (which is VERY promising)and that every time a top-secret performance of “The Underground” pops up, it’s a pretty excellent show. If you can still grab two or three of the last tickets, it’s a great night out! April 10th and 11th @Mystery Location MORE INFO |
CHRIS de BURGH 50LO: Canadian Solo Tour 2026 –Either you’ve already been on a date to see Chris de Brugh live and you remember it fondly, or you’re about to create a brand new date night memory. Either way, this will be a great time. April 6th and 7th @Rebecca Cohn MORE INFO |
| 😀 Treat Yourself |
The Chronology of Water –Not exactly a feel-good hit, this new film from director Kristen Stewart (yeah, the one from Twilight) is really something special. The subject matter involves sexual abuse, but if you feel up for it, we really think it’s worth a look. April 9th @Carbon Arc MORE INFO |
| South End Vintage Market – We’re fortunate to have some really great markets to check out in town. Our pick this weekend is definitely this one, though. Great vibes and even better vendors (and, of course, fantastic one-of-a-kind finds) April 11th @Dal Student Union MORE INFO |
Lucid Toons presents: Pokémon: The First Movie – This is basically a nostalgia play, but both screenings are selling very quickly, so we can’t ALL be wrong! April 12th @Carbon Arc MORE INFO |
| 🤪 Family Friendly |
Disney Pride in Concert –Iconic Disney music helmed by one of the greatest living conductors in the world right now (is that a hot take? No, right?). This is like Fantasia, but just the music, more music, better music and more fun!(editor’s note: we don’t love Fantasia) April 10th @Rebecca Cohn MORE INFO |
