WHAT IS CULTURE DAYS?
Culture Days is a national festival of arts. Culture Days is a three-day event this weekend, and it features hundreds of FREE PUBLIC ACTIVITIES around the province. There are more than 70 different activities to participate in throughout Stratford and Perth County (Stratford Library is hosting 4!). The bulk of activities in Stratford will be held at Factory 163.
Stratford and Perth County are among the top 10 communities participating, with higher per-capita participation than Toronto, according Stratford/Perth organizers. Stratford is punching above its weight, according to Mayor Dan. Just think about how many artists, poets, actors, musicians, writers, etc. you know in your own circle of friends, neighbours and family.
