The 10 Best Free Things to do in Stratford, Canada

November 29, 2021 Concepcion Newsome

Named for Shakespeare's birthplace, Stratford has grown to become Canada’s premier arts town. In addition to the annual Stratford Festival, performing from April through October, Stratford is always filled with theater, music and visual arts. The preserved 19th-century architecture and acres of parks and gardens (along its own Avon River, no less) are certain to charm. Stratford has also gained a reputation for culinary creativity, showcased at some of the finest restaurants in the country.

Knox Presbyterian Church

Reviewed By tammiec752

The sound quality at the Church for a concert is excellent! It is recommended that for any lengthy time sitting for a concert that you bring along your own pillow. It might sound ridiculous, but it will increase your comfort during (and after) the concert.
