Imagination takes centre stage at Trophy X Dream Weavers event

A view of the canvas tents set up for the Trophy and Dreamweavers festival at the Grand Trunk site, part of Ontario Culture Days.

An afternoon of imagination led kids and adults alike to the Grand Trunk site for the Trophy X Dream Weavers event this past weekend.

A pop-up village of canvas tents aimed to make attendees feel as though they were listening to stories in a cozy cocoon, where storytellers shared tales reflecting the heart of the region – its turning points, quiet awakenings and bold aspirations meant to inspire the listener.

Playful drop-in activities for children were also available around the site, including chalk painting, games, puppet making and shows.

The event was presented in partnership with the Provocation Ideas Festival, Trophy, the City of Stratford, investStratford and SpringWorks, in collaboration with the Pathways to Poetry Festival and the Stratford Writers Festival. It was part of Ontario Culture Days.
