With spring just around the corner, there's not much time left to enjoy wintertime fun in Oakville. There's hockey, concerts, workshops, and more. Plus, there's not one, not two, but THREE maple festivals happening locally this weekend - and with March being maple month, we're just getting started.
Oakville News has your full guide to what's going on in town, including sports, music, church sales, theatre, nature events, and so much more. Here's our complete list of events for this weekend, March 3-5, 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 going to an event, not searching for them.
Environment Canada currently has a winter storm watch in effect for Oakville this Friday night, but the rest of the weekend is expected to be above 0 and mostly sunny. It's a great chance to have your last bit of winter fun.
