North End Halifax Region

North End Halifax is a trendy region known for its independent businesses and eclectic arts scene, award-winning restaurants, boutique and second-hand shops, colourful houses and lively nightlife.

This region is also filled with history. During the Halifax Explosion (the largest man-made explosion prior to the development of nuclear weapons), the majority of the north end was destroyed. This brought about the development of iconic neighbourhoods such as the Hydrostone district, which is now a hip market with shops and restaurants.
