Stratford at a Glance
In Canada, Stratford is synonymous with the stage. Each year, the town's Theatre
Festival attracts over 600,000 visitors to live performances of Shakespeare
and a plethora of other classic playwrights. The festival began over 50 years
ago as a means of replacing the dying railroad industry. Today, it is the largest
classical repertory event in North America. As if to embellish the lyricism of
Shakespeare with sheer visual grace, Stratford's Avon
River is also home to a famous population of swans swimming a picturesque
shoreline river flanked by meticulously kept parks. On the streets, restaurants
are plentiful and memorable, partly because the city is home to a number of recognized
cooking schools that have set high standards for cuisine. To explore Stratford,
many visitors opt for the gentle pace of a walking tour and stay in one the town's
numerous B&Bs. With a population of roughly 30,000 Stratford is relatively
small, but it seems the entire town throws out a welcoming B&B sign during the
summer months to accommodate visitors in style.
