It's the long weekend! Oakville is ready for sunny, summer fun from Friday to Emancipation Day! Here's our full list of what's going on in Oakville this weekend, July 29-31 and August 1, 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.
