“The Tattoo has to be the one Canadian/Nova Scotia show to check off a bucket list. We liked it so much, that we’ve now made it an annual event for our family. As each year has a different theme, you never know what to expect. But one thing that never changes is the marching of the mass band. It’s just AWESOME!” – Zeke

“This was my first time attending the Tattoo, and it honestly blew me away! The musicians, Air Force/Navy/Army demonstrations, dancers, and all of the other acts were SO amazing. The amount of skill was insane.” – Anna

“Took our 3 grandchildren from age 8-24 and we all loved the show! Very patriotic event to remind us all of our military and their role in keeping Canada safe. An excellent event for Canada Day! Thank you!” – Che

“Took our 13- and 15-year-old grandchildren for their first Tattoo. They really liked it! I did not know what to expect from the texting duos, but they really enjoyed it.”

“What a wonderful experience. My husband and I enjoyed every moment of the show – the music, the lighting, the variety of acts, the historic significance, the dancers and the fun. The show was a good length and the cost was reasonable. We would recommend the Tattoo to everyone.” – Hal and Meh

“The bottom line is that it is an awesome show, well worth the money and I will absolutely be back with my wife and others again next year and as long as possible.” – Mike

“The Tattoo continues to explore new ways to entertain while maintaining old traditions that are crowd pleasers.”

“An excellent entertainment: anything that can impress a modern 15-year-old must be doing something right!”

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

“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.”
