Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo Tickets

What a wonderful experience. My husband and I enjoyed every moment of the show - the music, the lighting, the variety of acts, the historic significance, the dancers and the fun. The show was a good length and the cost was reasonable. We would recommend the Tattoo to everyone.

As usual a great show but I like it more heavily weighted w military acts or history. It’s a time to showcase some of the feats and showmanship of servicemen from around the world. The acts were good. I just miss some of the big military shows like the gun run.

Took our 13 and 15 year old grandchildren for their first Tattoo. They really liked it! I did not know what to expect from the texting duos, but they really enjoyed it. One liked the Pipe bands and the Kenyan gymnasts and the other loved Dee Austin and the Kenyan Gymnasts. Having seen it many times before, I found it very emotional, still, but did miss not having more entertainment, missed the cannon drill, Flying Grandpas and such. Just one or two extra acts I might have given it a 9/10 instead of a 7/10. Very enjoyable and worthwhile, nevertheless.

Loved the show. Please use closed captions so we can know the words of the songs. Sometimes, I had difficulties to hear everything that the announcer was saying.

Took our 3 grandchildren from age 8-24 and we all loved the show! The Brothers acrobatics and the dog catching the puck in his mouth were highlights for the younger kids. Very patriotic event to remind us all of our military and their role in keeping Canada safe. An excellent event for Canada Day! Thank you! 🇨🇦

This was my first time attending the Tattoo, and it honestly blew me away! The musicians, airforce/navy/army demonstrations, dancers, and all of the other acts were SO amazing. The amount of skill was insane. I got excited for the bikers, but it was honestly something I could've seen at a bike park... cool idea to diversify it though.

This year tattoo wasn’t my favourite and actually over the last few years has gone down hill a little bit. My wife still enjoys the bands and acts but she agrees wasn’t the best or even 2nd or 3rd best. Need to get back some of the good acts like “the Grandpa’s” and the drumming group “top secret” or bring in some more new acts that aren't just more bands.

The Tattoo has to be the one Canadian/Nova Scotia show to check off a bucket list. We liked it so much, that we’ve now made it an annual event for our family. As each year has a different theme, you never know what to expect. But one thing that never changes is the marching of the mass band. It’s just AWESOME!

Always enjoy the show. Money well spent different acts from around the world with different talents. Would love see just pipes and drums perform alone no dancers just the band. If you have never experienced this you should see it at least one you won’t be disappointed.

The Tattoo is an amazing musical (mostly) event, with bands, drums, pipers, uniforms, (did I mention drums?), singers, dancers. Yeah. Wow. And oh yes, great acrobats and some guys who can take a Jeep apart really fast. It was a great show, lasting about 3 hours. We saw the opening performance on Friday night and came back for the final show on Monday. Performance values were first rate and the videos, etc. supporting the there (100th anniversary of the RCAF) were excellent. Worth the long trip to Canada!

Good-day from beautiful NS; I consider myself a Proud NS Boy who has lived here all my life. I was elated with Sunday's performance (and yet) also a bit disappointed, after not being there for 6 years. (before that I went about every 2-3 years). I along with others have been going to the Tattoo for over 40 years of and on. I will start with the disappointed...Where are the arial acts (especially since this was about the air), the popping off of guns/canons (I know "gun run"was cancelled few years back), the military demonstrations, recreations and circus/military type acts? (the bikes, glad they came from Germany, but the kids at the local park do better acrobatics.) There were those from Ontario, US & somewhere in Europe around us, and I could hear their voices and chatter about it was just a musical act and they wish they had of known.......Not a proud NS moment to hear this. I think the organizers got to step up their act, maybe even bring back the entertainment part too, such as the NS Circus group in from Dartmouth (somewhere) to entertain, or maybe bring in someone to show how a musket is loaded and fired (we want the Noice), it was about airmen, bring in a real bi-plane and show it off with some veterans just sitting in cockpit!!!! The military rope team, the fence wall show offs (lol), demonstration of a war siege with guns popping, or anything (we, the audience would even wait a few extra minutes while it is being set up). I would have been mortified after all the praizing I & others have been doing for years, if we had brought my wifes' family in from the USA (which I've been hoping to do), for this event. The organizers missed the boat (airplane)! NOW the AWESOMENESS of the Tattoo. I want to end off on a POSITIVE note. Marvelous show otherwise. I can't be prouder of the cast, the wonderful costumes, the entertaining bands/pipes/dancers, the military precision, and the conductors and singers. Bravo goes out to them. Compliments out to the Bango Brothers, the fantastic Jeep demo race, piano singer, and the kids from Britain who made me and my wife cry with their singing and enthusiasm. The announcing from Peter form Move100 was great, clear and understandable. Very excited to see the large Choir and youth choir too. Not sure why, but the guys on the sides with the NS vest/costumes and the long bugles always a pride thing - so Riggle. Loved the history stuff and the videos on the floor/screen! DON'T ever change any of this type of stuff, but bring back what WE expect. I am thankful of the Tattoo for putting us on the Map, just some little things to bring it back to the standard we all expect and enjoyed in the past. I want my boosting to be worth it for the newbies, the older, the youth, and the visitors.

We had a great time! There is something for everyone to enjoy at the Tattoo! Only one suggestion. I attended with two disabled people. Our tickets were for the top tier but we were not told there was no elevator that went that far up. It would not have been possible for them to climb that far. It might be a good idea to let people know that those seats are not accessible. We were, however, taken care of quickly and with no fuss. We were led to great seats that were accessible, so thank you for that. The performers were all amazing! Not one boring or unknowable act in the entire show!

We’ve seen The Tattoo several times and we always love it. Great entertainment!

The last time I seen the Tattoo if consistent of more Military participants , like the dismantling of cannons and repelling from the ceiling. I did enjoy the show, and i will attend again

Overall, we thought that the '24 show was much better than the '23 show however, the flags of the participating countries should be hung as in the past. The country that the act is from should be shown on the large stage screen as they come on as it is often difficult to hear the announcer due to the music etc. We feel that the Tattoo needs to get more "wow"acts as before. These should include motorcycle teams such as the Imps and others from Germany and France. Acrobats, the Flying Grampas and Military precision drill teams such as the US Marines or the Guard of the King of Norway. You need to excite people once again.

Fantastic experience, brings me tears every time, happy tears to celebrate and thank those that have or currently serve our country 🇨🇦

Usually we give the Tattoo 5/5 rating, however this year I'm giving it a 3 out of 5, only because of the horrible seats we had. When choosing our seats I did not know there was seating underneath the sky box... it was literally the very back of the building. We couldn't see the stage or the screen, but they did have 3 or 4 small tvs for us to view, but it still wasn't the same. Otherwise, the Tattoo had amazing performers and super talented people, as always. We will be back, but hopefully I will choose better seats.

It’s been a few years since I’ve come to this magnificent event. Very happy to have attended again this year and have my daughter and her friend enjoy it as much as we did. The bands were amazing as usual, and the pipes and drums were the highlight of the evening

Loved every minute of it, the pipe bands are a favorite. Would highly recommend

Not as entertaining, liked the show teams in a previous Tattoo more. Music and message was good and we still enjoyed it.
