A Very Merry Mini Markets!

Our list of holiday events in Stratford includes a way to cross some names off your gift list. Market Square comes alive the first two weekends in December with Stratford-area vendors and artisans. While you shop-local, the kids can enjoy a ride on the carousel and meet Santa while roving Victorian carolers keep holiday spirits high!
