Halifax, Nova Scotia bursting with Fall Colours, Flavours and Vacation Packages Destination Halifax delivers over one hundred reasons to plan a getaway to Halifax this Fall September 17, 2013 HALIFAX, NS – The crisp ocean breezes, fresh harvest flavours, and captivating colour palette of the foliage-filled landscape make fall the prime time to experience the Halifax region and Destination Halifax has posted over one hundred new vacation packages, mobile offers, and major events to help visitors plan their trip. Destination Halifax has more vacation packages and mobile special offers than ever before. Visitors can choose from a diverse collection of close to 60 Halifax vacation packages and offers featured on DestinationHalifax to enhance their travel plans and tap into more than ten special offers exclusive to Visit Halifax mobile app users during their stay. Susan Downey, owner of Grape Escapes Nova Scotia Wine Tours, believes fall is the best season for visitors to explore the region because, “Not only is the foliage a breathtaking part of Halifax’s countryside, but vineyards are at their most beautiful in the Fall with ripe grapes ready to be harvested.” “This time of year, the local wineries are bustling with action to prepare for the grape harvest and to host many special seasonal events including the 2013 Fall Wine Festival,” says Downey. Grape Escapes Nova Scotia Wine Tours is one of two dozen local tourism operators currently offering a wide variety of Halifax vacation packages and special offers through Destination Halifax’s website and mobile app. Over thirty major festivals and signature Halifax events, including the Atlantic Film Festival and Nova Scotia Fall Wine Festival, both of which kicked off last week and continue into this week, are perfect opportunities to experience Halifax’s unique Maritime culture and taste. Annual festival favourites such as The Word on the Street and Nocturne: Art at Night, return to Halifax’s vibrant fall arts scene and those who love music and dance can look forward to the return of Hopscotch Urban Arts Festival, Halifax Pop Explosion, Re-Jigged Festival of new tradition Celtic music and dance, and the Fall for Flamenco Festival. Outdoor enthusiasts will want to take advantage of the Maritime Fall Fair and the McNabs Island Fall Foliage Tour, while runners can enjoy a slate of “colourful” and “spirited” fall race events such as Run or Dye and the Zombie Trail Run.
