Here’s your guide to the best events happening around Halifax and the surrounding areas this weekend:
⚽ Halifax Wanderers U21 vs Wrexham U21
📅 Saturday, July 5 | 🕒 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM
📍 Wanderers Grounds, Halifax
It’s game on at the Wanderers Grounds as our hometown U21 squad takes on Wrexham AFC’s U21 team from Wales in the International Summer Series. This match promises to bring high energy, international flair, and a whole lot of East Coast pride.
Expect a great crowd, local food vendors, and an unbeatable soccer vibe in the heart of downtown Halifax. Whether you're a die-hard footy fan or just love the community spirit of game day, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
🎸 Alan Doyle Live in Hubbards
📅 Saturday & Sunday, July 5–7 | 🕘 9:30 PM – 11:30 PM
📍 The Shore Club, Hubbards
East Coast icon Alan Doyle is back in Nova Scotia this weekend for two unforgettable nights at the legendary Shore Club. Known for his magnetic stage presence and signature folk-rock sound (and yes, for leading Great Big Sea), Alan’s shows are pure maritime magic.
If you’ve never been to a concert at the Shore Club, picture this: a seaside venue, salt air, cold drinks, and singalongs under the stars. It’s the perfect summer night out.
🎥 Movies in the Park: The Wild Robot
📅 Saturday, July 5 | 🕖 7:00 PM – 9:30 PM
📍 Acadia Park, 650 Sackville Drive
Looking for a free and family-friendly way to spend your Saturday evening? Head to Acadia Park in Sackville for a special outdoor screening of The Wild Robot. This animated feature (rated PG) is full of heart, adventure, and the kind of charm that both kids and adults will enjoy.
Bring a blanket, pack some snacks, and get ready for movie night under the stars. The event kicks off at 7:00 PM, so come early to grab a good spot!
✨ Your Weekend, Your Way
From the roar of the crowd at the Wanderers Grounds to the strum of Alan Doyle’s guitar and the quiet magic of an outdoor movie, Halifax is alive with energy and community this weekend. So get out there, make the most of it, and maybe bring a friend or two along for the ride.
And hey—if you’re dreaming about making Halifax your home (or finding the perfect property just outside the city), I’d love to help. Let’s chat real estate over a cold drink after the game. 😉
