Events in Oakville this weekend: May 6-8

For the first full weekend in May, there’s warmer weather ahead and Mother’s Day on Sunday!

There are so many things to do in Oakville – this is the busiest weekend of 2022 so far. Here’s our complete list of events for this weekend, May 6-8, 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.

There’s a very low chance of rain this weekend, with almost continuous sun and clouds all weekend long. There will be a consistent eastern wind for the next three days, but the temperatures are now consistently (and finally) above 0 even at night.

With the small but noticeable higher presence of COVID-19 in the community, 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.
