It’s Earth Day! There’s lots of great eco-fun things to do in Oakville this weekend – here’s our full list of events for this weekend, April 22-24, 2022.
If you’re looking for Oakville’s events each 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.
Aside from light rain on Saturday morning, it’s supposed to be sunny for most of this weekend, and Sunday could see a year-high temperature of +24 in Oakville – a great chance to get outdoors and play in the first real warm weather of 2022.
With the small but noticeable rise in new COVID-19 cases, please remember to be safe and follow safety instructions when going out. While masks are no longer required in most places, it’s still a welcome precaution for better protection in populated areas and places.
