The Restaurant Association of Nova Scotia and Discover Halifax are teaming up again to bring back Dine Around 2026 for the month of February 2026.
Dine Around Nova Scotia is a month-long event for restaurants, bars, cafes and hotels hosted every February to boost sales and bring awareness to potential guests in what is traditionally a very slow period in the industry. Restaurants participate for FREE and can choose to offer breakfast/brunch, lunch, and/or dinner offerings at set prices ($10, $20, $30, $40, $50, $60).
Don't forget it's open to eating establishments across all Nova Scotia and is free to sign up and participate!
Important dates:
January 15, 2026 is the registration cut-off to receive physical marketing collateral.
February 1, 2026 is the final registration cut-off.
For questions about participation see the Dine Around FAQ here. There's more details on the program, the opportunities for restaurants and some tips on creating a Dine Around menu with examples from past years.
