  • Halls Harbour Lobster Dinner (fee event) 6:30 - 9:30pm

    Located on the Bay of Fundy just 15 minutes north of Kentville on Highway 359, Hall’s Harbour is one of the authentic fishing villages surviving along Nova Scotia shores dating to 1779. Captain Hall and his privateers used the natural harbour as a base.

    The harbour is situated in a cove flanked by tall basalt cliffs and is subject to the periodic 12 m (40 ft) Bay of Fundy tides which fill the harbour twice daily. You can view a live webcam as well as a 24 hour history of the harbour filling and emptying.  The lobster restaurant is located just on the extreme left (west) of the shot.

    We will dine at the Hall's Harbour Lobster Pound & Restaurant.  Fee includes a bus to Hall's Harbour, which will depart Wolfville from the Festival Theatre at 6:30pm.
