“What a great decision it was to gather family together and experience an awesome evening of entertainment. We collectively enjoyed every moment of the night. There was something for everyone of all ages.”

“We have attended every performance of the Tattoo except one. So far there has never been a bad one. This year was also top notch, lots of music, especially the bag pipes, well done. Also nice to see local performers taking part.”

“Have not been to the Tattoo for many years. Much has changed but all very positive! It was like watching synchronized swimming, so perfectly choreographed. Loved the musicians, drumming displays were mesmerizing. A beautiful show and so much to be proud of.” – K Lynk

“I had never been to a Tattoo before, I only went to this one because by chance I was in Halifax for a few days. I had high hopes but they were by a long way exceeded. It was an amazing show of great variety, a rare event where you just don’t want the evening to end. Well done and thank you to all involved.” – Barbara

“The Tattoo is always an incredible experience and never the same one twice. We loved every minute of it!! This wasn’t our first show and won’t be our last. Already looking forward to next year.”

“The Tattoo was amazing! Every minute was exciting, beautiful, enthralling!! We especially loved The Music Man Project, they brought me to tears. As a music teacher, I felt an intense connection to the performers and the conductor. Incredible performance. The music of the entire tattoo was fantastic as always and we enjoyed The Jambo Brothers and Maggie the Goalie. Thank you for an unforgettable night!” –  Lisamd

“My 93-year-old Mom and I loved it! It was very interesting to learn about the history of the Royal Canadian Air Force and its amazing heroes.” – Julie

“Loved honouring veterans and recognizing all cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Enjoyed each performance” – Debbra

“It’s been a few years since I’ve come to this magnificent event. Very happy to have attended again this year and have my daughter and her friend enjoy it as much as we did.”

“A great show and the complimentary kids tickets were appreciated as I was able to introduce my young children to the Tattoo!”
