May has arrived! After two weekends of heavy rain, some warmer and sunnier weather makes it a great weekend to go enjoy the wide variety of arts, live music and outdoor markets this weekend.
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 5-7, 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.
