Let the festivities begin!

The Halifax Citadel National Historic Site is the perfect backdrop and setting for galas and events large and small.

Whether it’s a large public outdoor concert, a summer festival, or a children's birthday party, intimate retirement, baby shower, wedding, or office party, we can accommodate your gathering.

Our facilities are blank canvases, you can create the atmosphere you want. All facilities can be custom tailored to your needs. 

There are so many possibilities:

  • set up a tent with live music and projection screens for a dynamic multimedia presentation
  • backlight the fort walls to highlight their distinct texture and emphasize their height
  • create paths illuminated by tea lights for an air of mystery and anticipation

Add in spectacular views of Halifax and its picturesque harbour and you have the perfect stage.
