Say Goodbye to Urban Woes!
When you're ready to give up your urban woes for a weekend of cool salty breezes, friendly hospitality, incredible scenery, and remarkable history, then follow the coastline to Lunenburg, "where streets are straight and the corners are square."Only an hour's drive south of Halifax and before you know it, you're sitting on a wharf talking with an old salt who's spinning yarns of life at sea.
A Living History Since 1753...
In the heart of Nova Scotia's Bluenose Coast lies Lunenburg. A town steeped in the traditions of the past yet so very vibrant and alive. A stroll through "Old Town" Lunenburg engages the senses in a manner not easily found in the modern age. A seafaring legacy of "wooden ships and iron men" has carried Lunenburg's fame to distant ports of call. A tradition which continues to this day.
Festivals and Fun by the Sea...
Festivals and events celebrating the performing and visual arts are annual favourites in Lunenburg! The Boxwood Festival, The Folk Harbour Festival, Gallery Hops and the Folk Art Festival, just to name a few (see our Festivals and Events section for more details).
