Ready for a long weekend? Oakville has lots of great local events, featuring gardens, art, and lots of live music. And don't forget the annual Art in the Park show!
There's always lots of fun things to do in town. Oakville News has your full guide to what's going on in town. Here's our complete list of events for this weekend, August 4-7, 2023.
If you're looking for Oakville's events every weekend, you no longer have to search multiple websites; we've searched them all for you. We want you to spend your time attending an event, not searching for them.
Friday afternoon and Civic Holiday Monday are calling for possible thunderstorms, but warm and sunny weather will fill the rest of the weekend with calm winds. This weekend is a great chance to get outside and make the most of summer - but if you're going outside in the heat, make sure to have lots of sunscreen and water.
