Friends, Food & Fun: Top Long Weekend Activities
The weekend is here and many of us have been too busy shoveling to even think about family activities. Don’t fret, we have plenty to do this long weekend to keep you and your family busy – and it doesn’t involve shoveling the driveway!
Box Offices & Burgers
Enjoy the day off close to home if you’re located in Halifax! Head over to Neptune Theatre to watch a performance of ‘I, Claudia’. Finish off the afternoon or evening by grabbing a bite to eat at a nearby restaurant such as: The Stubborn Goat, 2 Doors Down or Gio!
Skating & Supper
Embrace the winter weather and head out for a skate on the Emera Oval, build up an appetite and grab a bite to eat at a local restaurant near by! Keep an eye out for Taste members: Studio East, Heartwood, Agricola Street Brasserie, Seasons by Atlantica and Five Fishermen.
Fine Dining with Friends
Maybe the kids are spending part of the long weekend with friends and that means it’s time for a date night! Make a reservation at a Taste restaurant: Chives, Gio, Stories at the Halliburton or The Press Gang, you won’t be disappointed!
Skiing & Syrup
Fill your weekend with skiing and maple syrup. Hit the slopes at Ski Wentworth for an afternoon of skiing or snowboarding and on your way home stop by the Sugar Moon Farm for some tasty treats and even more winter fun!
Holiday at Home
If you’d rather spend the long weekend inside ,enjoying your time surrounded by loved ones, then we have you covered for that too! Cook up some snacks that the whole family can enjoy: fish cakes with smoked salmon mayonnaise and Masstown Market’s mouth-watering Cinnamon Rolls!
Winter Walks at White Point
Spend the weekend at White Point Beach dipping in the pool, playing games and roasting marshmallows on the bonfire. Don’t stop there – on Sunday February 19 at 7:20 p.m. join the crew for an exciting night hike! This is one long weekend the kids won’t forget.
