ayor’s Historical Society Picnic
The Oakville Historical Society annually welcomes the young and the young-at-heart. Our Historical Society Mayor’s picnic brings our Oakville community together to greet the beginning of summer!
How? Bring your picnic lunch and join our Mayor, members and the community.
Where? Oakville’s oldest park, Lakeside Park at the foot of Navy St by beautiful Lake Ontario
When? Uncertain this year, due to COVID-19. Normally it is a Sunday, from 12:00 pm. to 4:30 pm.
Why? Our Mayor Burton traditionally opens with remarks at 12:15 pm. He welcomes the opportunity to meet and chat with neighbours and friends all afternoon.
What? Usually there is music and the Scottish dancers dancing!! The gazebo is often filled with musicians creating lovely afternoon music. The lawn is filled with children and smiling adult faces. Often there are special appearances by members of our community and organizations. It is a great opportunity to meet many members of The Historical Society, some dressed in period costume, who welcome new members!
How the fun evolves!
Bring your lawn chairs and a picnic lunch. Pick your favourite spot on the lawn and just enjoy!
Sit back and enjoy the dancing and music. Learn interesting facts of Oakville’s history by visiting the Thomas House, the Oakville Museum and the Oakville Historical Society office.
Invite your friends, family and neighbours. Children are invited to participate in fun activities such as face-painting and riding in the Oakville Hydro cherry-picker to get a park and lake view. The community can often admire antique autos and sometimes there is even a treasure hunt. A number of new youth activities are planned for this year, COVID permitting. Past prizes have included yacht cruises, ghost walks and books. Hope we can all see you there this year!
Please share the Mayor’s Picnic with your family and neighbours to create more community enjoyment!
