June 2, 2017 from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
This year, our museum will be kicking off Oceans Week HFX with The Ocean + You, a FREE event for all-ages.
The Ocean + You will feature a wide variety of guests and interactions for all ages. Participants will be able to explore and learn about their favourite aspects of the ocean from field experts and hands-on activities. Ocean enthusiasts can enjoy learning from experts on topics such as sailing, fishing and technology, while our younger visitors can learn and play with the help from surfers, sea creatures and even mermaids!
And…Don’t miss a sea music performance at noon, a kick off launch for our musical summer of the Tuesday Night Tunes series in the museum courtyard.
