We have two days left of awestriking performances across the city as part of the Halifax Fringe Festival. If you haven’t, be sure to check out what shows are playing as the festival begins to wrap up.
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.
