Halifax

Shopping in Halifax

  1. A

    Halifax Farmers' Brewery Market

    North America's oldest farmers' market, in the 1820s Keith's Brewery Building, is the ultimate shopping experience. Head here to people-watch and buy organic produce, locally crafted jewelry, clothes and more. In fact, the market has become so popular it's going to be expanded in 2011 to the newly built Seaport Market, a second location near Pier 21 – it will be a daily event with more vendors and cafes and more parking.

    Hydrostone Market

    This was part of the reconstruction effort following the Halifax Explosion. The quaint row of shops, cafés and restaurants includes the Bogside Gallery, which features fine crafts from Atlantic Canada.

  5. Nova Scotian Crystal

    As much of a show as a place to shop. Watch glass blowers form beautiful crystal glasses and vases then pick the ones you want in the classy adjacent shop.
