The Stratford Festival is an annual theatre festival held in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. It is one of the largest classical theatre festivals in the world, and its 2025 season will be its 70th anniversary.
The festival was founded in 1953 by a group of local citizens who wanted to create a world-class theatre company in their community. The festival has since grown to become one of the most prestigious theatre companies in Canada, and its productions have been seen by millions of people around the world.
