June 12–15, 2026 · Halifax waterfront
For the first time in nine years, the city’s biggest summer gathering returns to the waterfront. Four days of live music, night markets, workshops, and sport bring the harbour to life.
Built with local venues, artists, volunteers, and neighbourhood partners, Harbour Anthem is a city-wide invitation. Every stage connects back to the water and to the people who call this coast home.
A long-awaited return
Help welcome visitors, support venues, share local knowledge, and keep the waterfront moving. More than 1,200 volunteer shifts are available across all four days.
