Weekend Wrap-up: December 19-20, 2015


This is our last wrap-up of the year so we want to wish you and your family a fun and festive holiday season! We hope you get to enjoy some great quality time with those you love and have the happiest of new years. See you in 2016!
1. The Halifax Public Libraries are celebrating the season with a showing of The Muppets Christmas Carol on Saturday. Bring your own popcorn and join us for some family friendly holiday movie time.
2. The live Nativity starts on the 21st in Cole Harbour. It’s a wonderful way to experience the true meaning of Christmas and is a great community event that you won’t want to miss.
3. The Shortest Day is a four-day celebration of short films offering free screenings across the country to welcome the winter solstice. It’s a wonderful opportunity for East Coast families to come together this holiday season and experience a diverse showing of Canadian filmmaking talent!
4. Head to the Shubenacadie Wildlife Park this weekend to learn about, and even see some of Santa’s reindeer. There will be lots of fun activities and you can watch as Santa feeds his hardest working helpers.
5. Calling all Lego fans. Celebrate the holidays with a visit to the Maritime Museum to check out their annual display of Lego with a Halifax Harbour theme.

Urban Parent (formally HRM Parent) is a an online community for families living, exploring and playing in the Halifax area. We connect local parents with events, information, services, products – and each other. Our online community of local parents is growing every day and we’re so grateful for all who are a part of it. Our Facebook and Twitter “inbox” questions have been known to cause some wild conversations, unite families with similar needs and most importantly let many parents know they are never alone! Urban Parent is run by local parents, for local parents. We know what a struggle it can be to find local information and resources, so we’ve done the work for you in the hope that it has made your day a little easier and maybe even given you some cool parent points with the kids! Have an idea for a blog? Need more information? Want to advertise with us? Just send us an email at info@urbanparent.ca we’d love to hear from you.
