FamFest Atlantic is not a bouncy castle parking lot or a "let's just try and kill time this afternoon" event. It’s an indie arts festival made for families who still like good stuff. Taking place at Alderney Landing on September 12–13, FamFest delivers live music, theatre, dance, magic, comedy, circus, and hands on creative madness in a format that actually respects adults and fully includes kids. Expect quality live music from national and regional artists, high energy variety shows, interactive performances, a Silent Disco, creative activity zones, great local food, and zero pressure to sit still or behave politely. It’s loud in the right ways, welcoming in all the others, and built to be explored.

Produced by Atlantic Canadian parents with decades of event experience, this is the sweet spot: a festival where kids feel inspired and adults feel entertained, not trapped.

 
Join us on Sept 12/13 for an event created to share culture, creativity, and fun across generations (and yes, that includes Halifax’s first ever Parent Olympics). No watered-down programming. No devices needed to keep your kids entertained. Just a bold new family tradition with an indie heart in an inclusive space for everyone to enjoy.
