Sunday, July 13th at 1:30 pm.

Come and enjoy a tour around the Halifax Public Gardens, one of Halifax’s jewels at its best in mid-Summer.  Meet at the Tour Sign Board behind the Canteen.  (Our Tour Guide will take 10 HFN members at a time on each tour.) 

After the tour, stay to enjoy the music of the D’Wolfe Pack jazz band  playing from the bandstand between 2;00 and 4:00 pm. There is no rain date as it never rains on Sunday afternoons in the summer
