Alderney Landing, Performing arts center in Dartmouth, Canada

Alderney Landing is a waterfront cultural center in Dartmouth featuring a professional theater with 285 seats, an art gallery, a market area, and an events plaza. The facility integrates all these spaces, creating a versatile destination for entertainment and community gathering.

Alderney Landing opened in May 1999, built alongside the existing Alderney Gate offices (completed 1990) and the Halifax Transit ferry terminal (built 1979). A pedway links the new complex to both, so the waterfront site grew around structures already in place rather than replacing them.

The lower level holds a weekly farmers market alongside the Craig Art Gallery, Evan's Seafood Restaurant, the Casaroma Wellness Centre, Meadowvale Meat Market, a Noggin's Corner outlet and a Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation store. The theatre is home to Halifax Theatre for Young People, San Family Productions, Coastal Dance and Maritime Marionettes. Outdoor events each year include the Canada Day Concert, Natal Day Events, Mother Goose Festival, Bluenose Ghosts Festival and the Christkindlmarket.

The theater includes an assistive listening system compatible with hearing aids that delivers enhanced sound to all audience members. An internal pedestrian pathway connects the venue directly to the regional library and ferry terminal, making a visit straightforward.

The outdoor stage facing the Events Plaza has a permanent roof and can hold up to 8,000 people for concerts; washrooms and electrical facilities sit at the opposite end of the plaza. The plaza itself is the building's north parking lot, doubling as space for festivals.
