Stratford offers a pretty cool cultural scene all year round – from our symphony season, a vibrant club scene with up and coming folk, pop and rock performers, many who end up shortlisted for the Junos, as well as lots of festivals and events. Spring is no exception as people shake off the winter chill and get a move on.
From April to June, we are all about and enjoying the season. What’s your style? Choose from bars and restaurants on the weekends packed with up and coming musical acts or expand your theatre experience with plays taking place in cool warehouse spaces. There are symphonic, chamber and choral concerts of a classical bent or come to enjoy the subtlety of spoken-word performances.
