Stratford gay bar
Stratford has been called &#;Canada&#;s gayest small city.&#; Not at all surprising considering its flourishing arts and culture scene.
Members of the LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer – and more) community beat a path to Stratford’s door and make up a substantial portion of the permanent and visiting populations. In , the national census figures showed Stratford was 7th when male same-sex couples were ranked as a percentage of all couples. More than Toronto, at 8th.
You would be hard pressed to find another Canadian town its size with as many rainbow pride flags flying from business frontages or window stickers adorning front entrances as part of the city’s hold LGBTQ+ directory.

So, why wait for June? Stratford Winter Pride – Love Is Love is your chance to be mid-winter out loud and proud in Canada’s gayest small city.
Stratford Winter Lgbtq+ fest – Love Is Cherish – runs this winter from January 31 to February 9,
