Nova Scotia Lieutenant-Governor Mike Savage is inviting people to a free event at Government House in Halifax for the annual New Year’s Day Levée.

The event at 1451 Barrington St. will be held from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Jan. 1, 2026. Roughly 700 guests attend the event every year.

“The levée is a cherished tradition that brings Nova Scotians together in the spirit of community, friendship and renewal,” said Savage in a news release. “It is always a great joy for Darlene and I to ring in the New Year with residents and visitors to the province in this special celebration.”

Government House, which is a national historic site, was built between 1799 and 1805.
