A trip to Point Pleasant Park and Shakespeare by the Sea-- what better way to celebrate summer along the Atlantic Ocean?
 

Halifax Regional Municipality is a proud sponsor of the Shakespeare by the Sea company. 

For eighteen magical seasons the troupe has been performing the Bard's tales in the forest, against the backdrop of our historic forts and batteries.

As well as Shakespeare's famous plays, Shakespeare by the Sea performs family-oriented matinees.
