Events

Oakville Downtown Jazz Festival

The Downtown Oakville Jazz Event, founded in 1992, is an annual summer jazz festival. Performances will take place on a variety of stages along Lakeshore Road in downtown Oakville. The event is open to the public and is free of charge.

Festival on the Waterfront

Oakville's Coronation Park has hosted the annual Oakville Waterfront Festival since 1982. The festival featured miniature amusement park attractions, arts and crafts, food and beverages, free concerts hosted by Canadian musicians, and nighttime fireworks displays, among other things. The Waterfront Festival was held each year in late June until 2010, when it was terminated owing to financial issues, despite having an annual attendance of up to 100,000 guests. It was the most current event to return in August 2013.

Kerrfest

Kerrfest is an annual outdoor music event held in Oakville in early September. The event, which began in 2014, involves free performances and is accessible to the public and is held at Westwood Park.

Festival for the Love of the Arts

The For the Love of the Arts Festival is an annual event held in Oakville in late April. The event was founded in 2002 by CommUnity Arts Space (formerly known as Music and Art Shared Space, who launched the festival), a local umbrella organisation pushing for shared physical space for Oakville's arts and culture groups. The event, which is now Oakville's only multi-disciplinary community festival of its type, seeks to promote local talent, skills, crafts, literary art, dance performances, theater organizations, and music performances. The event, which is fully funded by local business and individual donations, is meant as a symbolic display of a "shared space."

The Canadian Open

Golf Canada and the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame are based at the Glen Abbey Golf Course. Since 1977, it has hosted 31 Canadian Open Championships, the most recent in July 2018. Glen Abbey is owned by Clublink, which intends to destroy the golf course and replace it with residential and commercial units if it succeeds in overriding the city's decision to block the development. In 2018, the corporation gained some ground against the town when a Superior Court ruled against the town's attempts to halt the reconstruction. The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) will consider ClubLink's appeal of the town's decision in 2021.

The 2019 and 2023 tournaments were slated to be held at the Hamilton Golf & Country Club, but if the renovation is not allowed to occur, the Canadian Open may be contested at Glen Abbey again in the future.
