FirstOntario Credit Union presents Oakville's Summer Cultural Connection

Supporting the advancement and development of cultural programming in Downtown Oakville, Oakville’s Summer Cultural Connection features a weekly Farmers Market on Saturdays complemented by special events, community group information booths, and activities. Now celebrating our fourth season.

Farmers Market brings fresh, local produce to Downtown Oakville

The market will take place rain or shine and is always filled with local residents taking home fresh, locally-grown, seasonal fruits, vegetables and delicacies! We look forward to welcoming back our vendors!

The market runs every Saturday from June 2 until October 6 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on George Street at Lakeshore Road in Downtown Oakville.
