Stratford never fails to deliver. So far shows have been great. . .’Something Rotten’ ended with a standing ovation ( besides two standing ovations during the show itself, ‘Twelfth Night’ ended with a standing ovation as well. ‘Cymbeline’ was well acted and Cloten still lost his head. Stratford has these ‘fix your own’ bicycle stations around town. All tools are included as well as a pump to inflate your tires. High tea was appreciated by all travelers. Flowers are in bloom all over the city of Stratford.S

This morning I learned more about Royal Caribbean cruises. My first and only zip line experience was on a Royal Caribbean cruise. The ships have a great variety of dining choices and entertainment options comparable to an all inclusive vacation in Mexico or the Caribbean. So many options and value pricing as well. Thank you to Katy C for the opportunity to learn more about Royal Caribbean and special pricing available through Compass Travel.

If you're a Stratford local, you will know all about the city's beloved nesting swans, Will and Kate.

Our community was deeply saddened by the loss of the latter swan this past spring, but we brighten up every time we see the Festival's archival swan logo, whom we like to call Kate.

We hope she brings a smile to your face, too ❤️
