Stratford Winterfest

The planning for Stratford Winterfest 2012 is now underway, and the committee is working hard to make this year’s event as successful as ever!

Stratford Winterfest began in 1998 as a single-day event, expanding each year to its current format, now covering three days of spectacular winter programming in January.  This year’s theme is “BLAST FROM THE PAST”, which will mark the return of activities and events from the last fourteen years of successful programming.  We are proud to announce a new funding partner, Royal Palisade Retirement Community.  This community-minded organization is the Festival’s Main Event Sponsor. The Royal Palisade Extreme Trampoline Show is scheduled to include an Olympic-style trampoline, and three professional athletes on skis and snowboards.  Check out this great community partner at www.royalpalisade.com.
