STRATFORD MARKETS
Stratford offers two popular year-round markets that provide you with the opportunity to chat with purveyors while you select your supplies. They facilitate eating locally and seasonally.
At the Slow Food Market, you won’t see transport trucks delivering food, drinks, produce, and crafts from faraway places. You will see owners of family-run businesses unloading vehicles that do double duty, transporting kids to hockey games and school during the week and to the markets on the weekend. On Sundays, 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., from mid-May to October, the Slow Food Market is held outdoors in Stratford’s downtown Market Square at City Hall. In the winter months, the market moves two blocks north on Downie Street to be indoors at Festival Square.
The Stratford Farmers Market, operating since 1855, is one of the oldest markets in Ontario. Located in the Stratford Agriplex building, the year-round indoor market, open every Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., expands outdoors from May to October. It offers a substantial spread of food and flowers alongside a large assortment of handmade crafts.
At the Stratford Markets you are encouraged to arrive early and fill environmentally friendly bags with gifts and goodies. If you are heading out on a picnic along the Avon River or a drive in the country, the Stratford Markets are a good source for meats, cheese, vegetables, pickles, and freshly baked bread.
STRATFORD PERTH MUSEUM
The Stratford Perth Museum offers a glimpse into the lives of the people of Stratford and Perth County as an indoor and outdoor experience. The five-acre site consists of an 1870 Victorian brick home, woodlots, and a network of trails. The museum’s collection of over 20,000 items covers life in the area from the early 1800s to today. As one of the oldest ongoing collections in Ontario, it reflects the growth of the community with railway equipment, furniture, quilts, clothing, military objects, medical equipment, and agricultural, industrial, and architectural artifacts. Current exhibits are topical whether relating to a Stratford Festival production, an anniversary of a historical event, or the life of a young Stratford star like Justin Bieber. Outdoors, a path a little under a kilometre in length is lined with historical storyboard descriptions of people and events. Other trails are set up for hiking in the summer and snowshoeing in the winter. If you don’t have snowshoes, you can rent them at the museum. Weather permitting you’ll find an ice rink on the front lawn for free skating.
The museum offers summer camp and programs for schools, children, adults, and families. Choices range from using a printing press, orienteering, and celebrating holiday traditions, to tea parties. You can join the historical fun by attending the annual Innkeeper’s Dinner fundraiser in April, Flavours of Perth barbecue in August, or the Shine On historic car rally, with guides and reenactors, in October. Your car doesn’t have to be an antique.
In 2018, over twenty thousand visitors toured the Justin Bieber: Steps to Stardom exhibit.
