About Stratford

Spring. Summer. Autumn. Winter. Each season is dramatically different, but has its charm in Stratford, the city for all seasons. Rich in the arts, history and recreation - Stratford has something for everyone year round.

In the spring, Stratford hums with a creative energy that that carries throughout the year. The Stratford Festival begins.

By summer, the festival city is in full bloom. Night music, a celebrated writers series, special lectures and tours are just a few of the many events to be enjoyed.

Autumn is the time to admire the fiery leaves and dramatic reflections in the Avon River, or seek the comforts of good food, books and warm covers.

By winter, the cedar boughs and white lights adorning every store front, Stratford is transformed into the quintessential winter village, Its unique stores and excellent restaurants make it ideal for Christmas shopping excursions.

As winter comes to a close, a breath of spring is just around the corner. And so the cycle begins again...
