Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo

The Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo is global entertainment in our own backyard

Audiences from far and wide – and performers from every continent – have participated in the Tattoo since its inception in 1979. In the decades since, our show has become the kick-off to summer in Nova Scotia and as an event where everyone knows they’ll find superior entertainment!

Each year we blend modern spectacle with historical medleys to show audiences where we’ve been, who we are today, and what’s coming in the future. There’s something for everyone at the Tattoo – from marching bands, acrobats, and dancers to military displays, pipes and drums, and much more!

Dates: July 1-July 5, 2026 at the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax

Tickets: Tickets can be purchased at nstattoo.ca. Kids 18 & Under are FREE with the purchase of adult/senior tickets.
