One of Stratford’s biggest events of the year, a celebration of Stratford and of down-home family fun! Family-centered in every way, the farm is transformed into a playground. With a variety of entertainment, a “kid's world” with kites, stilts, face painting, and a hay bale toddler area with farm toys. Kids of all ages can discover their inner farmer by climbing on a tractor, making apple cider, riding on a horse drawn wagon, grinding grain, and so much more!

The bands will perform in marching form with a “stopped performance” on High St. between Buttles Ave. and Warren Ave. Then, they’ll march on towards their final big performance under the main tent at the Columbus Italian Festival.
