Tales & Trails: Your House is Not Just A House Event
Indoor and Outdoor Crafts and Challenges
Are you sometimes stuck at your house? Not to worry, because there is a kaleidoscope of magic to be found in your very own home. Inspired from Author Idris Goodwin‘s Your House is Not Just A House book on our outdoor trails, this event will include self-directed crafts and games that peek into some house adventures. Although houses sometimes creek and crack, we can imagine and transform our homes into worlds of wonder behind every door!

Carnival of the Animals Stratford Summer Music Event
Family Friendly, Music & Stories, Petting Zoo
What better music to kick off our family series than Saint-Saëns’ charming and humourous musical suite, Carnival of the Animals—complete with a petting zoo afterwards! This delightful score will come to life in the hands of the extraordinary two-piano Bergmann Duo, with by multi-talented rapper and poet Idris Goodwin as the narrator. Evincing lions, kangaroos, a swan (how Stratford!) and more, this performance is sure to delight. Bring your lawn chairs or picnic blankets to get comfy as you enjoy the show!
Run time: 60 minutes | no intermission
