Begin preparing for your special Christmas in Victorian Stratford throughout November and join us in December for the holiday magic celebrated by Victorian streets wrapped in fresh cedar garlands, bows and lights, shimmering like a giant Christmas present.

Stroll our unique shops guided by the Victorian Christmas Trail, resting along the way in our cosy cafés, or take a carriage ride through historic downtown. Visit our distinctive homes and heritage mansion B&Bs richly dressed for the season. Be charmed by glittering displays of Yuletides past or the artisan and artistic gifts crafted for the season.

Music fills the Festival Theatre with concerts by Blue Rodeo and Gordon Lightfoot and the star-studded annual Starbright Christmas pageant. Be entertained by symphonic and choral concerts in historic churches or intimate recitals by young Canadian talent in heritage restaurants.

Every Saturday in November and December offers Savour Stratford Tastings, sampling unique pairings of foods under the guidance of knowledgeable culinary experts.

Treat yourself to an early Christmas present with a few days wrapped up in a Christmas-themed overnight package at one of the Inns of Stratford or at a forested retreat just minutes away.

Ahhhh – Come visit the Christmas wonderland that is Stratford.
