About What’s On NS

Local events in two languages

What’s On NS brings public community events together in English and Canadian French. The province gateway follows five economic regions: Southern, Annapolis Valley, Halifax, North Shore and Cape Breton. The Southern calendar currently covers Bridgewater and LaHave; Lunenburg and Mahone Bay; Chester and Hubbards; and Liverpool and Queens. Cape Breton has an initial selection in Cape Breton, Inverness, Richmond and Victoria counties. Halifax has an initial selection across Halifax Regional Municipality. Annapolis Valley has a first selection in Annapolis, Kings and Hants; North Shore covers selected communities in Antigonish, Colchester, Cumberland, Guysborough and Pictou. Coverage in every region remains partial, including the rest of Southern. Markets, arts, music, library programs, fundraisers and small community gatherings all belong in the directory when useful details can be sourced.

How listings are prepared

Listings draw on organizer, venue, municipal, library, tourism and community calendars. Each listing links to its source. Source-check dates reflect editorial research, not a promise that an organizer has made no later changes. Official event titles are retained, with French explanatory copy where available.

Suggested sources enter a private review queue. Approved sources join the research list; each event still needs its source, dates, time, location, duplicates and bilingual copy checked before publication. Coverage can be incomplete, particularly for inaccessible or social-only sources. Use the simple source form to suggest a missing calendar, or contact us with a correction.
