Following its success from previous summers, the TD Summer Music Series is returning to Downtown Oakville for this summer 2024.
The project began with free concerts in downtown Oakville's Towne Square in summer 2022, and is returning for its third year this summer.
Some artists are returning for 2024, including performers, musicians and bands like YASSiN, Ellen Daly, the Sean Stanley Trio and Eddie Patton. Joining them are several new artists like Hayley Verrall, Paige Rutledge and Colin Gray.
The music series is a free community event, sponsored by TD Bank, that organizers say will "highlight local talent and feature live performances from more than a dozen bands, musicians and singers."
Live music and performances will be presented each afternoon in the downtown core's Town Square from 3-7 p.m. most Saturdays and Sundays for the next two months, beginning today, Saturday July 6, and continuing to early September.
"We want everyone to come out, enjoy live music, have a great time and embrace all that Downtown Oakville has to offer," said Adrienne Gordon, Executive Director, Downtown Oakville BIA. "The TD Summer Music Series is open for all ages and has a variety of music genres so there truly is something for everyone."

"Through music festivals, our goal is to set the stage for connection, helping to amplify diverse voices at local and national levels while helping to foster a sense of belonging through music and lived experiences."
