Weekend Wrap-up April 28-30

Some all-star events are happening at the Scotiabank Centre this weekend. Spoiler alert, the stars will be: Globetrotters, …on Ice, and Canadian National Anthem singers. Also, Princesses and Superheroes plan to take over the World Trade and Convention Centre, and Dancers will be shimmying all over Halifax Central Library!

The basketball team that has been shooting unbelievable (but true) hoops for almost a century is coming to Scotiabank Centre this Saturday at noon! The Harlem Globetrotters will have you and your family highly amused while watching the ball handling wizardry, basketball artistry, and one-of-a-kind family entertainment these tall men from Harlem are known for.
