Stratford Sister Cities Program

Stratford Logo smallThe principle objective behind the Sister Cities program is to promote friendship and cultural exchange between participating countries. Membership is restricted to those Stratfords which have a Shakespeare Theatre or Festival. Stratford, Victoria, has had a Shakespeare Festival for over 10 years and therefore qualified and was duly accepted into the program.

Reunions are held every 2 years and are hosted in rotation by the member cities
