New winter festival aiming to bring hope to Stratford

A new winter festival in Stratford is aiming to bring hope to the community.

The first displays for the Lights On Stratford, a festival featuring light based exhibits, have been installed around Stratford City Hall and will be lit up for the first time Thursday evening from 6 o’clock until 9 o’clock.

They include a large sign which says Hope which is a central theme for the festival which features the work of many members of the arts and culture community in the city.

Kaileigh Krysztofiak is a lighting designer at the Stratford Festival and is the Festival Coordinator for Lights On Stratford and she says it’s important to show the community that they aren’t alone especially during a year that’s had many hardships.

“It’s something that I just have to keep clinging to that my passion that inherently is my career is going to come back and this is a version of my career and my passion coming back.”

Other areas that will feature installations include the new Tom Patterson Theatre and the Shakespearean Gardens.
