Live Theatre Performances

This tour “connects the dots” to include two wonderful performances in two different cities.  We take care of the details so you can enjoy a relaxing getaway with the pleasure of experiencing live theatre.  Performances at the iconic Festival Theatre in Stratford are always a treat, and in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Shaw Festival Theatre has been a significant venue for over 50 years.  With prime orchestra-level seats, experience the energy and the music of “Funny Girl” and “Guys and Dolls”.

The St. Jacobs Farmers' Market & Mennonite Culture

St, Jacobs Farmers' Market is a much-loved tradition in the Waterloo Region. Home to a large population of Old Order Mennonites, you’ll often see farmers on local roads travelling to the market by horse & buggy. At the market, vendors sell a variety of items from food to art and collectibles … “Local. Fresh. Original.”

Dive deeper into the Mennonite community with a backroads tour, led by a local guide.
