Summer Picnic
As May comes to a close, this weekend's events feature multiple charity runs, nature walks, sports and games, live music, local art and so much more happening in town. Get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine!
There's always lots of fun things to do in town. Oakville News has your full guide to what's going on in town. Here's our complete list of events for this weekend, May 26-28, 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 attending an event, not searching for them.
Sunshine will be around Oakville all weekend, with warm temperatures, low winds and less than a 10% chance of rain all weekend long. If you've been delaying that outdoor excursion, this is the perfect weekend to get outside.
