Held around the 23rd of April, Shakespeare’s birthday celebrations are a highlight of Stratford’s calendar. The centrepiece of the day is the lively parade, where performers, community groups, musicians and visitors from around the world come together in period costume to honour William Shakespeare’s legacy. The procession winds through the historic streets to the sound of music and applause, creating a wonderful atmosphere of celebration and tradition.
Arriving in good time, you’ll be able to soak up the excitement as the town fills with visitors, street entertainment and a real sense of occasion. Alongside the parade, there are often additional performances, readings and events taking place throughout the town, adding to the festive feel.
