Halifax Public Gardens hours of operation for

Nocturne: Art at Night, October 13

Wednesday, October 10, 2012 (Halifax, NS) – HRM is pleased to host two public art installations in the Halifax Public Gardens as part of this year’s Nocturne: Art at Night event on Saturday, October 13.

The Halifax Public Gardens will be required to close temporarily from 5 – 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 13, to prepare for the Nocturne event and set up barricades. The gate in front of Horticultural Hall and the public washrooms on Spring Garden Road will be the only gate open after 7 p.m., as there will be limited public access throughout the Gardens during the Nocturne event. The Gardens will remain open until the end of the event at 12 a.m.
