== The Host City ==
Our host city for the 185th FSC edition in July is Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Halifax is the capital and most populous municipality in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, and in all of Atlantic Canada, with a population of 518,711 in the metropolitan area, of which 348,634 people live in the urban area. Halifax is an economic centre of Atlantic Canada, home to a concentration of government offices and private companies. Resource industries found in rural areas of the municipality include agriculture, fishing, mining, forestry, and natural gas extraction.
Halifax is a major cultural centre within the Atlantic provinces. The municipality has maintained many of its maritime and military traditions, while opening itself to a growing multicultural population. Halifax has a number of art galleries, theatres and museums, as well as most of the region's national-quality sports and entertainment facilities. Halifax is also the home to many of the region's major cultural attractions, such as Halifax Pop Explosion, Symphony Nova Scotia, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, The Khyber, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and the Neptune Theatre. The region is noted for the strength of its music scene and nightlife, especially within the urban communities.
Halifax's tourism industry showcases Nova Scotia's culture, scenery and coastline. The Halifax area has a variety of public spaces, ranging from urban gardens, public squares, expansive forested parks, and historic sites. The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is a maritime museum containing extensive galleries including a large exhibit on the famous Titanic, over 70 small craft and a 200-foot (61 m) steamship CSS Acadia. In summertime the preserved World War II corvette HMCS Sackville operates as a museum ship and Canada's naval memorial. The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is housed in a 150-year-old building containing nearly 19,000 works of art. The Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia in Dartmouth reflects the region's rich ethnic heritage.
== The Venue ==
The Host Venue for this FSC edition is the Scotiabank Centre.
Scotiabank Centre is the largest multipurpose facility in Atlantic Canada, located in downtown Halifax. The arena was opened on February 17, 1978, as the Halifax Metro Centre, and was built into the ground to compensate for the steep elevation of the land it occupies. Spectators can see cars at street level, outside, while watching an event. The arena has a seating capacity of 10 500.
Scotiabank Centre is primarily used as an ice hockey arena, and is home to the Halifax Mooseheads. It is also used as a venue for other events, shows and music concerts. In the past it has hosted concerts by Billy Idol, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Backstreet Boys, Cher, and Avril Lavigne, among many others. Most recently, it has also played host to the Juno awards (the Canadian National Music Awards) in 2024, and is now proud to also host this FSC-edition.
