Local Guide to March Break 2022

This March Break, we encourage you to cherish time spent with loved ones through the endless local culinary adventures and staycations our province has to offer. From family friendly adventures to maple activities and recipes to make at home, we’ve got you covered!

March Break Staycation

Sometimes all you need to make a March Break special is simply stepping out of your routine. Booking a Nova Scotia staycation is the perfect way to do so! Try booking winter accommodations at Amherst Shore Country Inn, Argyler Lodge and Restaurant, Digby Pines Golf Resort & Spa, Fox Harb’r Resort, Inn on the Lake, Inverary Resort, Lane’s Privateer Inn, Quarterdeck Beachside Villas & Grill, The Flying Apron Inn and Cookery, or White Point Beach Resort.

Family Friendly Activities

Our province has plenty of culinary adventures suitable for the whole family to enjoy. Treat your children to a locally-inspired March Break with some exciting winter activities. Whether it’s skating at Benjamin Bridge‘s outdoor rink, skiing, enjoying snowshoeing at Sugar Moon Farm (pictured) or booking one of Tourism Nova Scotia’s family packages such as a Family Winter Playcation at Inverary Resort! Trust us when we say your kids won’t be disappointed!

Homemade Baking with the family

With the kids being home and the weather still chilly, it’s the perfect opportunity to get your hands on local and spend some quality time in the kitchen. Whether you’re baking Dark Chocolate and Maple Caramel Oatcakes, Sugar Cookies, or Apple Crisp with Maple Cream, we’re certain you’ll make some sweet memories with your family – it is maple season after all!

For easy baking that the kids can do with minimal supervision, try grabbing a bag of Made With Local Granola Bar Mix during your next grocery shop!
