"Midnight Madness is one of the greatest events in Downtown Oakville," says a spokesperson from Coriander Green, one of the restaurants taking part in the festival. "We have been participating for the last 15 years and this event really brings the community together and supports downtown Oakville businesses. Despite the reconstruction of Lakeshore Road E, we are here to keep the same spirit, the same hope, and the same support that has made this event a success! We will be offering 10% OFF on pickup orders util July 30 2019 Promo Code: CURRY MADNESS 2019 so come on out and meet us!"

Dave Despin, owner of Tribeca Coffee Co. a cafe that's taking part in the festival commented on his excitement for the event. "This is our fourth year that we will be taking part and we always look forward to it. This year, the construction is new but we're looking forward to meeting the crowds that are going to bring the energy! We're out here past regular office hours so come on out!"

“We’re excited to welcome back the community for our 42nd annual Midnight Madness event!" says  Sharlene Plewman, Executive Director of the BIA. "With over 100 businesses offering incredible sales, 4 stages, 3 busker pitches, delicious food and lots for the kids to enjoy it’s sure to be another great night!  We have worked closely with Halton Regional Police and the Town of Oakville to ensure a safe event around the revitalization project and thank the community for coming out to support our Downtown merchants at this longstanding Oakville tradition!”
