The Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo was filmed live in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Every year, thousands of people from around the world come to experience this unique Nova Scotian cultural event during the first week of July.

The Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo was first performed in 1979 for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, when she visited the Province on the occasion of the first International Gathering of the Clans outside Scotland.

In 2006 Her Majesty The Queen granted the Tattoo Royal status, signing the decree on her 80th Birthday.

The Tattoo is presented by the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo Society with support from the Government of Canada, the Province of Nova Scotia, the Canadian Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Halifax Regional Municipality and the Corporate Community.
