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.
Also of note: there is a Heat Warning in effect for the entire weekend in Oakville and most of Halton Region. There will be high humidity and temperatures that will feel like 38 degrees celsius. Read Oakville News' full story here, including how to stay safe in these high temperatures.
