Stratford Summer Music looking for billets for musicians

Stratford Summer Music is fast approaching and soon the musicians who will be performing will arrive.

The festival goes from July 16th to August 26th and festival organizers are currently looking for billet homes for groups of younger people, from 18 to 22 years old.

The goal is to give the young people a taste of Stratford and make it feel like home while they are in the city, they are looking for 30 homes.

Stratford Summer Music General Manager Judy Mathieson says opening your home to the musicians would be invaluable.

“To help keep costs down and to give them a taste of Stratford hospitality we like to put them in Stratford homes.”

You can visit the Stratford Summer Music website to find out more about being a billet.
