Oakville Children's Festival 2017 takes place on Sunday, July 9, 2017 at Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM. This community festival in celebration of children, is a perfect way to engage children's curiosity through dynamic performances as well as many interactive activities.
Oakville Children's Festival 2017 moved from Coronation Park this year due to the on-going flooding of the park by the high water levels of Lake Ontario. The new location does offer one special addition which is the access to the public pool. During the festival free swims will be available; however, a wristband program will be in effect. Free swim times are: 10-11 a.m., 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m., 12:30-1:30 p.m., 1:45- 2:45 p.m. and 3-4 p.m.
