Stratford Festival Anniversary Marking Canada’s Second Silver Jubilee
Stratford Ont celebrates 25 years of the Stratford Festival with 25,000 Canadians joining the Silver Jubilee. From a town panic over CN rail shop closure to a thriving arts center, the festival has drawn 7 million spectators, $32 million in ticket sales, and about $100 million in local economic impact. The project grew from a $125 start to a $5 million annual budget, supported by box office and arts grants, while Robin Phillips leads with a five year contract extension amid internal shifts.
