Getting to the Ham Festival

The HARC 75th anniversary Ham Festival will be held in Roseria Hall at Mount St. Vincent University on the Bedford Highway in Halifax.  Roseria Hall is Building #3 and is coloured in orange in the campus map below.

If you are coming from outside the Halifax area, there is an excellent website (http://www.halifaxinfo.com/getting-here.php) that provides myriad information on how to get to Halifax, what to do in Halifax, and where to stay in Halifax.  However, before booking local accommodations, please check out the accommodations that are available at the University – the price is generally much better than at local motels or hotels, and, you will be right on top of the action.

Coming from outside of Halifax

Come into Halifax on Hwy # 102.  Past the airport, stay to the right and proceed along the #102 Hwy to Halifax (do NOT take the left branch to Dartmouth). 

Take Exit #2 (Kearney Lake Rd.) – stay on Kearney Lake Rd.- turn left when you reach the Dunbrack St. intersection and continue on Kearney Lake Rd. down to the Bedford Highway (do NOT take the Dunbrack St.).  Turn right on the Bedford Hwy and proceed until you reach the entrance to the University (on your right).  Now refer to the University map and directions below.

Coming from Halifax

Take Robie St. north (main street running north/south on peninsular Halifax) and follow the signage to Bedford.  Once on the Bedford Hwy (the Bedford Basin will be on your right) you will pass the container pier.  Continue on past the lights (Bayview Dr.) and Mount St. Vincent University will be on your left.  Now refer to the University map and directions below.
