It’s being billed as “A family festival that doesn’t suck for parents” as FamFest Atlantic has something for everyone.

Catch some great music from Wintersleep, Neon Dreams, Aquakultre, Slowcoaster, Rankin Macinnis and the Broken Reeds and more!

Plus magicians, circus performers, workshops, a silent disco, a sports zone, and Halifax’s first ever “Parent Olympics” like the Lego Minefield and the car seat buckle challenge!

It’s on this September 12th and 13th at Alderney Landing.

Have a listen to my chat with Craig Mercer from FamFest Atlantic:
