Family and “try-it” glow curling sessions will be during the day on Saturdays and Sundays, while date night glow curling sessions are available on Friday and Saturday evenings. The main GLOW & THROW bonspiel is scheduled for Saturday, January 18th at the Stratford Country Club’s curling facility.
A street curling demo will also be hosted at Market Square for opening and closing weekends.
We’re excited to announce the launch of EVERBRIGHT—a new, permanent interactive light installation at our Destination Stratford Welcome Centre as part of Lights On Stratford! This modern take on the classic Lite-Brite lets you create vibrant, large-scale pictures by turning dials through a spectrum of colours. And when you’re not creating, EVERBRIGHT comes alive with its own animated light show!
Launched in 2020 during the pandemic, the award-winning Lights On Stratford annual winter festival will once again transform Stratford’s heritage downtown core and park system with luminous art and interactive light installations. Visit LightsOnStratford.ca for full details.
The Festival will feature Made-in-Stratford light displays along the Light Trail connecting Market Square to Tom Patterson Island. As in previous years, storefronts and locations throughout the City will be lit up with unique displays and experiences.
Stratford is home to some of the world’s best artists, lighting designers, props builders and creative minds. Lights On Stratford harnesses this precious resource of local talent, crafting a truly unique experience that you can’t find anywhere else.
