Harbourside Market

The Halifax Farmers Market was created by Royal Proclamation in June of 1750, a year after the founding of Halifax. The Governor and Council designated a site for the Market – the present day Bank of Montreal building. For 50 years this flesh, meat or cattle market, as it was known, sold produce as well as livestock delivered from Acadian farms in the Annapolis Valley and from local farm production. In 1848 the City of Halifax was incorporated and the original City Charter conveyed the Country Market property to the city “for the public and common benefit and use of the City of Halifax according to the true interest and meaning of the original grant.” The Market has operated in several locations across the city since its inception in 1750, but moved to the Halifax Seaport in 2010 where it is now known as the Halifax Seaport Farmers’ Market – the longest continuously running Market in North America and proudly hosting over 250 vendors!

  • Great tour of Halifax and Titanic history

    Trip was fantastic. The higher roof van was great, easy to get in and out. Paul gave such a great tour all over Halifax, Dartmouth and Fishermans Cove. Lunch was very good in Dartmouth. We learned so much of the history of the city, the ship explosion, Titanic history and the gravesites. His presentation of videos and talking told us so much more than we had ever learned from being in Halifax before on a different tour. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone

    Paul does a wonderful job and is very passionate about his city. He was very informative and told us many things we did not know. I would have given a 5, however because our cruise ship was leaving at 3:30, he said that wasn’t enough time to do everything. He cut our tour short even though it said 6 hours when I booked it. Where we were dropped off was 1-1/2 miles from our ship (even though he said it was only a few blocks) and we had to walk back to our ship in the rain. If I would have known all of this I definitely would not have booked this excursion.

    Paul is very organized, punctual and knowledgeable about all the history he tells you about. He goes above and beyond, telling about all the little information you might not hear anywhere else pertaining to the events that have occurred and sightseeing of off the beat little places.

    This tour was the best!!!! Paul picked us up at the cruiseport. His knowledge of the history of Halifax is outstanding. He took us to places the buses don’t go. This is the best tour I have ever been on. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

    I ended up not going on this tour after getting sick, but my prior interactions with the guide were less than favorable and I wish now I had canceled it.
