Open City is an annual celebration of all the entrepreneurs and small businesses that make our community so special, vibrant, exciting, and welcoming. This city-wide event happens every year in May and includes many great North End Halifax Businesses.
​
From Back Door Takeout being served from some of the city’s top chefs, amazing deals at local boutiques, opportunities to make and enjoy art, music on the corner – you never know what to expect at Open City. One thing is certain though, it’s always an amazing opportunity to get out and meet the folks between Halifax and Dartmouth’s local shops and restaurants. Try something new, revisit your old favourites, take the road less travelled and enjoy.
