These include the Discovery Gala, where Hal-Con takes over the Discovery Centre with a red carpet gala fit for your fanciest cosplay; a Victorian Tea Party at the Halifax Citadel with servers dressed in authentic Victorian-era attire; and Geekbounding: Cosplay and Cocktails, where you’re invited to wear your best geek-inspired outfit for an evening of snacks, photos, themed cocktails, and live jazz music.
