Arts & Recreation Nocturne tonight!

What's everyone looking forward to checking out this year? I haven't been for ages but think I'm finally ready to haul my toddler out tonight to check it out. I probably won't be able to take her out for more than 2 hours so I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a good area to stick to that's more on that family friendly side. I know the waterfront is usually a good spot but it can also be a bust and it's gonna be cold tonight lol.

This has to be the most overrated event in Halifax.

First couple of years it was the best thing to happen in Halifax all year.

Agree. The first 2-3 years the entire downtown was just bumping, people everywhere and tons of interactive displays. I'm not sure what happened, but slowly the displays got fewer and farther between, and somehow less joyous if that makes sense? Anyway, I hope it is good tonight, would be great if the event could recapture it's original buzz.

Covid, AI art, loss of culture among the youth because trying new things and public performance is “cringe”. Plus corporate culture is abundant and everything is an ad.
