Join a library club or social
Halifax Public Libraries host free events every month, from book clubs to music nights. Pick one that repeats so you see the same people each time.

Go to the library Open Mic Night
Open Mic Night runs on the second Tuesday of each month, listed on the library's newcomers page. You can perform or just listen, and it is easy to chat afterwards.

Volunteer at Nocturne
Nocturne is Atlantic Canada's largest art festival, and its website has a volunteer section. Helping out on the night is a natural way to meet people who like art and late nights.
