Prepare to be “downtown dazzled”! Lights On Stratford is BACK for another season of twinkly magic. From December 15th, 2023 to January 12th, 2024, Thursdays to Sundays, 5 to 10pm, expect an array of lights displays, “supporters of lights on” (businesses staying open late), special features and offers, a lit-up shuttle bus, free skating, and more!
We have asked our businesses to be Downtown Supporters of Lights On Stratford by offering something special in conjunction with Lights On OR by staying open late every Friday during the festival as “Supporters of Lights On”. More on that below!
Downtown Stratford is a proud GOLD SPONSOR of the “DANDELION” Light Art Installation in Market Square and we can’t wait to see and interact with this “eclectic and modern light and sound animation”.
For more information on Opening Night’s Flashlight Mob or FREE Rheo Thompson Hot Chocolate in the Square, the installations, FREE Skating dates, Hop-On Shuttle Bus, an Interactive Map, Accommodations, Experiences, and more head to https://lightsonstratford.ca/
