Residents and visitors enjoy theatre, dance, music and comedy performances at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts. They can visit the museum at Erchless Estate, located in the home of the Chisolms, Oakville's founding family. Other points of interest include Oakville Galleries, Oakville Public Library, historical societies and local architecture, especially in heritage neighbourhoods.
Special attractions and activities are available for the whole family, Oakville's annual Waterfront Festival and Jazz Festival draw crowds from around the GTA.
