If you love theatre, take a seat because great summer theatre awaits you in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Stratford and in towns throughout the region. Enjoy the history of centuries-old villages along the shores of three Great Lakes and partake of the festivities. Cheer at the Highland Games or "oompah" at the second-largest Oktoberfest in the world. Then relive the past at historic sites or retrace the route of the Underground Railroad, the subject that inspired Uncle Tom's Cabin, one of North America's most popular novels. From the world renowned Shaw Festival in picturesque and historic Niagara-on-the-Lake, wine festivals, theatre festivals, flower festivals, and just about any other festival you can imagine, you will find why this is known as festival country.

Southwestern Ontario has been called Ontario's Riviera. Canada's southernmost point is here, and it's on the same latitude as Northern California. This is Canada's farmland, and its milder climate and warm lush land nestled between Lakes Huron and Erie make it ideal. While traveling through this rolling countryside you will see picturesque towns and villages that offer constant historical reminders of Ontario's past. Southwestern Ontario's superb variety of theatre, includes North America's finest Shakespearean festival, held every year in the town of Stratford. Attractive shoreline communities like Point Pelee, and Bayfield make perfect spots for summer fun, boating, relaxation, picnics, or just somewhere to visit for a while. Don't forget to visit the towering Niagara Falls on the Ontario and New York border. It is quite a sight to see.
