Reposted from Ontario Culture Days<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oakville\u2019s gracious lakeside charm makes it one of Ontario\u2019s most sought-after spots to call home. At an easy 30 kilometres from Toronto, it\u2019s an ideal destination for visitors too \u2013 both for its waterfront beauty and its history as an industrial port and stop along the Underground Railroad. Located on the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, you may notice treaty lands signs as you wander, all part of Debwewin: the Oakville Truth Project, aimed at recognizing the area\u2019s Indigenous past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MORNING<\/strong> – DOWNTOWN, KERR VILLAGE AND OAKVILLE GALLERIES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHARM AND SOPHISTICATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small-town feel meets big-city sophistication in Oakville, making downtown an appealing place to linger. Your only challenge will be which caf\u00e9s to include in that quest! A couple of local favourites are Croissant Express Bakery (known for amazing croissants) and the cozy Tribeca Coffee Company. Or you could detour to eclectic Kerr Village, a pebble\u2019s throw from the lake and home to the popular Vereda Central Coffee Roasters (where coffee is a \u201cdelicious science\u201d). Brunch lovers note: Kerr Street Caf\u00e9 is much beloved for its brunches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oakville BIA\u2019s signature events, including Hometown Holiday and Taste of Oakville, along with their street sales and local gatherings, cultivate a strong neighborhood spirit. Upscale fashion shopping is also a big thing in Oakville, from European-sourced styles at Must Boutique to beautiful, affordable clothing at Luxfindz and Second Chance\u2019s consignment discoveries, among other spots. Shopping for art is a thing too, with many private galleries. To discover the works of emerging and established artists, visit Towne Square Gallery or Summer and Grace Gallery. For the work of Indigenous artists, there\u2019s Native Art Gallery, and for contemporary art, Prometheus Art Gallery. When in Kerr Village don\u2019t miss Rumi Galleries, where you\u2019ll find modern art by British and North American masters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From private to public: Oakville Galleries has two sites: downtown in Centennial Square and in serene Gairloch Gardens on the lake. The latter is housed in a cottage once owned by Toronto investment banker James Gairdner, who willed his residence and grounds for use as a contemporary gallery and public park. Today, this intimate art gallery seeks to connect people through art of our own times. To that end, it hosts workshops, art talks and art-in-the-park tours in addition to rotating exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFTERNOON – OAKVILLE MUSEUM; TANNERY AND WATERWORKS PARKS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOCAL HISTORY REVEALED<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another prominent historical estate-turned-museum in Oakville is Erchless Estate, one-time home of Oakville\u2019s founding family, the Chisholms. The main house, Erchless (pronounced \u201cerkless,\u201d meaning \u201cby the stream\u201d in Scottish Gaelic), is where the museum resides. Among other things, it is notable for two permanent exhibitions devoted to Oakville\u2019s Black history: \u201cFreedom, Opportunity and Family,\u201d sharing the stories of African-American families who made Oakville home, and the multimedia exhibit \u201cThe Underground Railroad \u2014 Next Stop Freedom!\u201d narrated by the ghost of Deborah Brown telling the true story of her flight from slavery. The estate is also home to Oakville\u2019s Old Post Office Museum, built in 1835, and in the summer you can take a tour and try your hand at postal-related fun like writing with a quill pen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tannery and Waterworks Parks are adjacent green spaces to stroll and enjoy fabulous views of Lake Ontario from the observation deck. In Tannery, you may notice a stone gathering circle decorated with images of moccasins. It\u2019s part of the Moccasin Identifier project, an outdoor classroom providing school children with a chance to learn about the area\u2019s rich Indigenous history. All ages have the opportunity to learn at the First Nations History Wall, located along the park\u2019s shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EVENING – OAKVILLE CENTRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXCEPTIONAL DINING AND ENTERTAINING PERFORMANCES<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oakville has been called \u201cfoodie harbour\u201d with good reason \u2014 there\u2019s no shortage of dining options both downtown and in Kerr Village. Popular spots are Maro\u2019s Bistro, for \u201creimagined\u201d Mediterranean food; Community Restaurant for plant-based cuisine; Hexagon (listed among Canada\u2019s 100 Best Restaurants) for stylish French food; and The Mermaid and the Oyster for seafood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a post-dinner treat, check out the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts, known for presenting a variety of performances from dance to circus arts to storytelling to concerts. Its snappy slogan, \u201cSmall theatre big names\u201d is accurate \u2014 over the course of a year, the centre presents 70 plus professional performances. But there are also hundreds of shows by local performers, making the centre a vital part of Oakville\u2019s cultural community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MORNING – BRONTE VILLAGE, CORONATION AND BRONTE HERITAGE WATERFRONT PARKS, AND QUEEN ELIZABETH PARK COMMUNITY AND CULTURAL CENTRE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHAPED BY WATER<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bronte Village, like its neighbour old Oakville, is shaped by water. For centuries, Indigenous inhabitants turned to the creeks and lake for travel and nourishment. Settlers built a busy port that saw shipbuilding, fishing and stonehooking industries \u2014 stonehooking being the tough work of gathering stone slabs from shallow waters for construction. By the mid-twentieth century, Bronte Harbour was best known for its recreational pleasures, as is true today. Consider a free walking tour via the Bronte Historical Society and visit the society\u2019s home in the 19th century Sovereign House to learn more. Fishing folk note: you can still angle at both Bronte and Sixteen Mile Creeks or take charters in the harbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bronte is also a perfect place to just slow down, perhaps with a picnic at family-oriented Coronation Park with its play areas and long beach. Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park is another spot to laze, with a wonderful vantage for admiring the harbour. Or get active by partaking in some of the many cultural events in the park \u2014 from birding lessons to bucket drumming workshops. And take a moment at the Bronte Commercial Fishermen\u2019s Memorial, honouring those who set out in all kinds of weather to bring fish to markets from Toronto to New York City. Nearby Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre is a cultural hub worth checking out \u2013 hosting public art exhibitions, events, workshops and more, including a number of Ontario Culture Days events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFTERNOON – LION\u2019S VALLEY PARK AND JOSHUA CREEK HERITAGE CENTRE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GO NORTH<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People love being by the lake, understandably. But don\u2019t miss out on North Oakville as it too has much to offer \u2014 for instance Lion\u2019s Valley Park, terrific for hiking and cycling (and gorgeous in autumn). Follow the Moccasin Trail to learn about the land from an Indigenous viewpoint as signs along the trail share stories relating to land, water and sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 15-minute drive north brings you to the artist-run Joshua Creek Heritage Art Centre, a gallery ensconced in an 1827 barn amidst lovely gardens. The centre hosts arts programs and exhibits and prides itself on being something of a sanctuary from busy urban life. One way of exploring the sanctuary is by walking a labyrinth made of prairie grasses, bringing together the centre\u2019s three pillars: art, wellness, and conservation. (Make sure to book labyrinth walks in advance.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EVENING – FILM.CA AND 5 DRIVE-IN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DINNER AND A MOVIE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not make Bronte Village your stop for a leisurely dinner? A few choice spots include Por Vida Mezcal and Mexican, celebrating Mexican food and culture (and Mezcal!), The Bronte Boathouse with lake views, and Bronte\u2019s Fish and Chips, serving customers for fifty years. Next, take a short drive to Film.ca Cinema, home to new movies at low prices. Film.ca Cinema is also the primary venue for the annual Oakville Festivals of Film and Art and runs classes for budding young filmmakers through the Film.ca Academy \u2014 making it another Oakville cultural institution. Or, cap off the evening with some retro-style entertainment at the 5 Drive-In Theatre, where you can \u2018jump in your car and come as you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
