      Take a break from the usual routine with the “things to do” at home, and indulge in a getaway to the beautiful Niagara region. Niagara-on-the-Lake is a lovely place for exploring, at any time, but especially during the growing season, with the boulevard gardens and plantings overflowing with blossoms. Browse the boutiques and cafés of Niagara-on-the-Lake’s heritage shopping district, shop at the Niagara Outlet Collection Shops, and find something fresh and unique at the St. Jacobs Farmers' Market.

       

      The main attraction for this getaway, though, is the excitement of live theatre. In eager anticipation, respond to the sound of the trumpet fanfare at the Festival Theatre in Stratford, beckoning patrons inside for the rollicking song and dance extravaganza, “Something Rotten!” At the Shaw Festival Theatre, enjoy one of the most beloved musicals of all time, “My Fair Lady.” This pause in the Niagara region with live theatre performances is sure to provide many moments of toe-tapping happiness!

        Live Theatre Performances

        This tour “connects the dots” to include two wonderful performances in two different cities.  We take care of the details so you can enjoy a relaxing getaway with the pleasure of experiencing live theatre.  Performances at the iconic Festival Theatre in Stratford are always a treat, and in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Shaw Festival Theatre has been a significant venue for over 50 years.  With prime orchestra-level seats, experience the energy and the music of “SOMETHING ROTTEN!” and “MY FAIR LADY”.


        The St. Jacobs Farmers' Market

        St, Jacobs Farmers' Market is a much-loved tradition in the Waterloo Region. Home to a large population of Old Order Mennonites, you’ll often see farmers on local roads travelling to the market by horse & buggy. At the market, vendors sell a variety of items from food to art and collectibles … “Local. Fresh. Original.”


        Prime Shopping Opportunity!

        The Niagara Outlet Collection Shops feature over 100 quality brands at outlet prices. Whether shopping with a mission in mind or perhaps browsing to freshen up your wardrobe, this is a great shopping opportunity! Also included is time to browse the heritage shopping district along Queen Street in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Discover unique gift items or enjoy tasty treats while exploring the boutiques, cafés, galleries, and specialty shops.

        Day 2:  Niagara-on-the-Lake, Stratford Festival Performance of Something Rotten!

The choices for your morning in Niagara-on-the-Lake are to explore the historic downtown shopping district with its boutiques and cafés, visit Fort George, or shop at the Niagara Outlet Collection, an open-air outlet mall. After lunch, we’ll be on our way. There will be a nice little break at Picard’s Peanuts, and then we’ll arrive at our hotel in the afternoon, with time to check in and freshen up before heading out for dinner and the theatre. Enjoy browsing the theatre grounds and the gift shop, but at the signature sound of the trumpet fanfare, it’s time to take your seat and enjoy the show: “SOMETHING ROTTEN!”

Don’t forget to get some lunch, since we’ll begin the drive eastward early in the afternoon. The journey should have you home in time for dinner, and we’re certain the conversation will continue ...
