The heat of summer is here and there's lots of great events happening across Oakville all long weekend long! Here's our complete list of events for this weekend, July 15-17, 2022.
Oakville has several concerts and live music performances happening this weekend. There's also a sports tournament, nature workshop and new play at the Oakville Centre. Plus, a special event with bestselling author Kathy Reichs!
