Re-Open City Halifax 2020
Created in 2012 by I Love Local HFX and hosted this year by Develop Nova Scotia, Open City has been the kick-off to the summer season for Halifax’s local shops and restaurants for the past nine years.
This year, as shops and restaurants re-open, the name of the event has been tweaked from Open City to Re-Open City. Taking place over 4 consecutive weekends on Saturday and Sunday, starting June 27th and concluding July 19th, 2020, Re-Open City gives you the opportunity to sip, savour, shop, stroll, and share #ReOpenCityHFX.
As part of the event, some of your favourite Taste of Nova Scotia businesses are inviting you to celebrate our local food and drink with special offerings:
