Nightlife and Entertainment
If you want to go out and groove, Halifax has a vibrant live music scene with around fifty of its cafe-bars and bars offering everything from blues and jazz through to indie and techno. Many of these places have live music on just a couple of nights a week, and detailed entertainment listings, along with reviews, are given in a free weekly newssheet, The Coast , which is available at record shops, bars and the tourist office. The local newspaper The Chronicle-Herald carries reviews and listings on Thursdays, and Where , a free magazine supplied by the tourist office, has a section describing the city's most popular bars and giving some opening hours. The venues listed in this section of the website are places where you can expect to see live music on most nights of the week. The main musical event is the eight-day Atlantic Jazz Festival, held in mid-July and featuring many of the biggest international names. Halifax, as the provincial capital, also attracts major live acts in key classical and theatrical performances and has a fairly prestigious theatre scene.
