Blue Flag tip of the day: go for drama!

You've probably taken the opportunity to splash, lay and play on a Blue Flag beach this summer, but I bet you never thought of taking in a play... Where you ask?

Huron Country Playhouse is a century-old converted barn with a rich history of performances. Come check out Drayton Festival's summer performance of The Wizard of Oz after spending a day on the shores of Lake Huron at Grand Bend Beach.

Among other summer-long events, the Stratford Festival performs internationally-renowned theatre just a quick drive from Grand Bend Beach. Whether you are interested in Shakespeare, or a musical, Stratford has something for all Blue Flag beach goers.

Halifax harbour offers an excellent evening out at Neptune Theatre, which has been providing entertainment since 1915.  From July 24-29 you can enjoy Bare, a musical comedy that explores how a simple love between two people can become complicated by the world around them. Why not enjoy time by a Blue Flag marina enjoying the sights and sounds, and then head out to catch a play steps away?

So after you’re done soaking up the sun, take in some live theatre!
