It’s Tuesday, and the Halifax Fringe Festival just keeps getting stronger and stronger with amazing performances by artists from the city and beyond. It also marks the start of Sticky Business, which will be played throughout the week at the Cambridge Battery.
The Fringe is a time to celebrate all that Halifax has to offer in terms of arts and culture. Theatre plays, musical performances, circus acts and comedy routines come together to show off different perspectives, cultures and experiences. Artists collect all the revenue from ticket sales, making it a great way for folks to come out and show their support.
