Foot tapping or awe inspiring - you'll definitely be moved!

The performing arts are well represented in Oakville. Professional and amateur theatre and dance companies perform in historical playhouses, modern arts centres and small, quaint community theatres.

Oakville is home to numerous art galleries, exhibits and studios. The Gallery at Sheridan Institute has become world-renowned as a creative centre. You can walk from gallery to gallery in Oakville’s downtown core or drive the country roads to visit artisans’ studios. Paintings, prints, sculpture, glass, wood and pottery can all be found.

Music for all tastes fills local concert halls, cathedrals, nightclubs and pubs. Arts festivals throughout the spring, summer and fall celebrate jazz, blues, R&B, folk, independent film, Shakespeare and fringe theatre.
