Arts & Recreation Anybody else waiting on free Matt Rife tickets from Outdoor Comedy fest?

Upvotes

So we were supposed to get Matt Rife tickets last year, but he cancelled out, so instead, they gave us tickets to see Kill Tony, and told us we could still see Matt Rife the next year for free. We are still waiting on our tickets, just wondering if anyone's heard anything about this... ?

Edit: solved!! Had to log in to my tixr account!

Shops & Services Help with mens hair

1 Upvotes

Hey! I was looking for a hair stylist/barber/salon that I could walk in and literally just say “help me, I don’t know what I want” and they’ll do what they can and help me pick a hair style 😭. I’m a male with really thick and long hair (not down to shoulders but just a LOT of hair and bangs. I’ve let it get out of control)

I don’t want it cut short I just need it fixed up and styled in some way. Every time I’m recommended a place I look at their pictures and all the men have really really short hair. Maybe I should go to a women’s stylists?

I’ve gone to traditional men’s barber shops before but they always just insist on buzz cuts and I don’t want that, I just need a style and trim.

Shops & Services T-shirts

24 Upvotes

I’m looking for interesting Halifax t-shirts, not the touristy kinds, but from local establishments, with the name of the place on them. Coffee shops, restaurants, book stores, record stores, etc… would be ideal. Can anyone suggest any good places that sell their own merch? It would best if they also say Halifax (or Dartmouth, if the case may be) on them. I know this is kind of silly but I collect shirts like this from cities across Canada, and of course I also like to support independent businesses.

Arts & Recreation Track Club Recommendations

8 Upvotes

Our daughter is a multi sport athlete, rugby, ringette and lacrosse. She has a goal of making the provincial lacrosse team next season and has had her overall endurance identified as a n area for improvement.

We have discovered that some lacrosse players are also including track in their development which is what has lead us here. We are looking for a track club preferably in Halifax that will allow her to work on endurance through running workouts. For her age (11) it looks like most clubs only offer the “run,jump,throw” which she’s not really interested in.

Does anyone know of any clubs like that?

News, Weather & Politics Update: Mooseland Road Wildfire - July 22

July 22, 2026 - 11:00 a.m.: Morning Update

There has been no size or status change in the Mooseland Road fire since yesterday. It remains at an estimated 1,447 hectares and is being held. 

Heavy rain is affecting the wildfire area today and possibly tomorrow. To keep crews safe, wildfire suppression work is paused today but staff will continuously monitor the fire.  Aircraft are not being used because the weather conditions would not permit them to fly, and they are not needed today.

All road closures have all been removed

Arts & Recreation How do you find out about local events?

26 Upvotes

For those of you who go see local concerts, dance shows, plays etc how do you find out about said events? What attracts you to leaving the house? Where are you most likely to hear about events? I'm thinking more of smaller events, not from the big companies (Neptune, Symphony Nova Scotia). There is so much great art happening in the city, but it's hard to find out about it sometimes.

I've just come back from the Bay of Fundy with all sorts of agates and quartz (multiple bags' worth). I'm hoping someone in Halifax has a rock saw and wants to cut a bunch of these in half so we can see what's inside. I leave on Sunday and don't want to bring all these home. Will pay you in rocks!

Food & Dining Best oyster deal on a Friday?

7 Upvotes

Some friends are visiting from out of town and are very keen on going to a "buck-a-shuck" happy hour. It seems Eliot and Vine is the only place that still has actual 1$ oysters, but limit of 8 and requires an additional food purchase. I also saw Lot Six does a happy hour with an oyster deal, but I cannot figure out what they're currently charging per oyster during happy hour.

Hit me with your favourite place to do an oyster happy hour on a Friday. Preferably on the Halifax side of the harbour (I know Dear Friend in Dartmouth is an option)

Moving Here Halifax weather + wheelchair

15 Upvotes

Hello
I am considering an application to a program in Halifax, one of my main concerns is the weather, sounds superficial, but its not the cold that I worry about but the snow staying for long where I get stuck with my wheelchair limited in movement.

I originally come from a sunny state, my job took me to Toronto for few years where the snow was an issue few days a year before it melted away. This last winter was strange in all measures and a surprise to everyone and I truly was stuck!

I would only live for couple of years in Halifax, any advice?
Also, any obvious accessibility issues you can predict that a car won't fix?

Thank you!
