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!

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.

The sun is out and heat is on all day Friday and Saturday - but there's a high chance of warm, persistent thunderstorms all day Sunday.
