Nova Scotia Seafood at the Catch! Festival

Posted by Chloë Ernst Mar 20, 2009

Down at Pier 23 in the Halifax Seaport development, seafood lovers can enjoy the bounty of the ocean during the first-ever Catch! Nova Scotia Seafood Festival from June 27-28, 2009.

Events include a Sunday lobster brunch, celebrity chef demos, and cooking classes. Watch out, too, for pairings of seafood (perhaps from some of the best Halifax seafood restaurants?) with Nova Scotia wine.

Other great ways to enjoy the seafaring traditions of eastern Canada this summer include:

• Tall Ships Nova Scotia Festival 2009 from July 16-29, 2009: Whether under sail or moored at the Halifax docks, the tall ships deliver a slice of the high-rigger life. Be sure to catch the Parade of Sail on Monday July 20.
• Mahone Bay Classic Boat Festival from July 30-Aug. 2, 2009: This Nova Scotia Festival celebrates its 20th year and promises plenty of boat-related events. Mahone Bay is also close to historic Lunenburg.

So far, I've now got summer and winter in Canada covered!
