While there's lots of rain expected this weekend, there's also lots of live music and multiple art shows that would love to have you come out and enjoy. Here's our full list of what's going on in Oakville this weekend, August 5-7, 2022.
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 going to an event, not searching for them.
We have all the events from Friday to Sunday this weekend, but we also have some featured events scheduled for the August long weekend with Emancipation Day on Monday, August 1.
There are chances of thunderstorms most of Saturday and Sunday, but Sunday is expected to be especially hot, with some temperatures in Halton feeling like +40. Take breaks from being outside, avoid overexertion and stay hydrated with lots of water.
