Paul McCartneyBaby you can drive your car…and take The CAT to Nova Scotia and join Paul McCartney live in Halifax on the Commons. Beep beep beep beep yeah! Halifax offers the perfect stage with its new world groove and old world charm. Our fresh, local maritime dining is as legendary as the Beatles. Just 45 minutes from Halifax, stay 2 nights with Oak Island Resort & Spa. And after a night of exploring your own personal history with Paul McCartney you can pamper yourself in the spa, enjoy the indoor pool, hot tub and relax in the oceanfront dining room. You can never get enough of silly love songs
