The Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo

Featuring over 2,000 world-class Canadian and international military and
civilian performers, the Tattoo continues to live up to its reputation as
one of the world’s premiere cultural and entertainment events.
The Tattoo strikes a unique balance, featuring pipes and drums, military and
civilian bands, historic re-enactments, dancers, acrobats, choirs, military
displays and competitions, drama and comedy in a number of innovative acts,
in a fast-paced two and a half hour family show. The Tattoo is held annually
at the Halifax Metro Centre during the first week of July.

A different show every year, the Tattoo is a masterpiece of colour, music,
artistry, athleticism and nostalgia that continues to amaze audiences each
