Waterloo is part of the Tri-Cities, referring to the close proximity to Kitchener and Cambridge. Our guests and residence of the University are able to easily take advantage of these three beautiful cities and their many wonderful attractions including our world famous Oktoberfest celebrations, boutique shopping in Uptown Waterloo, discovering the various locations used to portray the fictional Ontario town on the Canadian sitcom ‘Dan for Mayor’, enjoying a night at the Kitchener Blues Festival or a day at the KW Multicultural festival. Our beautiful and spacious parks are also a draw for visitors: Victoria Park in Kitchener, Waterloo Park in Waterloo and Riverside Park in Cambridge. Just north of our cities is the Historic St. Jacobs Village and Farmers Market where history and charm intertwine for memorable experiences.
