Spring will come: Oakville News
It's time to "spring" into fun this weekend! There are so many things to do in Oakville - here's our complete list of events for this weekend, April 29 - May 1, 2022.
If you're looking for Oakville's events each weekend, you no longer have to search multiple websites; we've searched them all for you. We want you to spend your time going to an event, not searching for them.
Friday and Saturday will be some of the first reliably warmer days this spring, with clear skies and sun. There's a possible chance of showers on Sunday afternoon, with a bigger likelihood of showers Sunday evening and night.
With the small but noticeable rise of COVID-19 cases, please remember to be safe and follow safety instructions when going out. While masks are no longer required in most places, it's still a welcome precaution for better protection in populated areas and places.
