Welcome to the Halifax Waterfront
Sparkling water, a thriving downtown business core, a working port and harbour traffic combine to make the Halifax waterfront both a picturesque destination – and one of Nova Scotia’s most visited locations.
With the sparkling ocean and a working port as a backdrop, it’s no wonder that the Halifax waterfront is home to countless large and smaller world-class events each year. From walk-a-thons, to Nocturne, the world-renowned Busker Festival to International Tall Ships visits, Halifax is a vibrant event city.

LIVE WEBCAM Public Spaces Recycling on the Halifax Waterfront
The Public Spaces Recycling initiative involved a usage study and incorporates new technology.
Four stream receptacles, manufactured by Big Belly Solar, are located along the Halifax Harbourwalk, from the ferry terminal to Tall Ships Quay. The eco-friendly receptacles feature a solar powered waste compacter that can reduce collection frequency by up to 80 per cent, saving time, money and reducing pick-up emissions.
Results from the successful pilot study included a 95% diversion rate for beverage containers and a combined container, paper diversion rate of 83%.
