About the event
German Settlers Day in Nova Scotia is an annual celebration recognizing the lasting impact of German immigrants who played a key role in shaping the province’s history, particularly the “Foreign Protestants” who settled in communities like Lunenburg in the 18th century.
This day is a tribute to their enduring cultural, economic, and social contributions to Nova Scotia. As part of the celebrations, a ceremonial flag raising will take place on June 6, 9:15AM at the Grand Parade in Halifax, proudly honoring the heritage and strong ties between German and Canadian communities. It is a moment of reflection, celebration, and unity for all who value our diverse cultural landscape.
