Destination Stratford is pleased to announce an exciting partnership with the Stratford Country Club to align with Lights On Stratford Winter Festival of Lights 2024/2025. Introducing Glow & Throw – an interactive community and visitor activity that will take place over multiple evenings and weekends in conjunction with Lights On Stratford. This unique indoor winter experience merges Stratford’s passion for the creative arts, culture and sport.
