Maritimers and tourists are gearing up for the unofficial start to summer as the May Long Weekend gets underway.
The Halifax Waterfront was full of tourists Friday as a cruise ship docked.
"I think it's the nicest place we've been on the ship," said Irene Lamb, who travelled with her husband, Ian, from the U.K.
"It's just really nice. Loads going on. Very chill, lots of things to do."
The Lambs were planning to stay on land, while others took to the water to see the city from another angle on the Harbour Hopper.
Across the harbour, the MacKenzies were preparing for a busy weekend with their kids and grandkids after making the three-hour drive from Prince Edward Island.
"I brought them some plants to put in their garden. They're gardeners," said Kelly MacKenzie.
