Ghost Walks

Celebrate Halloween by joining the Oakville Historical Society volunteers for a guided walk around the oldest part of the town with an eerie spine tingling sensation and a dash of Oakville history. Hear about some of Oakville’s ghosts and haunted happenings. Perhaps you’ll see a spirit or two on your walk. Ghost Walks are well suited for children and youth groups. These walks start at 110 King St. and tend to fill up. Book early to avoid disappointment. Duration: about an hour. Walks run until Oct. 29. Reservations are recommended. The cost is $12 per adult, children 12 and under, $6. Infants free. For more information, go to www.insidehalton.com/community-story/6899098-ghost-walks-tell-spooky-tales-of-old-oakville/

Harvest Halton

The region’s culinary event bringing Halton’s finest restaurants and local farmers together for an unforgettable farm-to-chef experience takes place Sunday from 1-4 p.m. in downtown Oakville. Tantalize your taste buds and sample unique dishes created by award-winning chefs from Halton region’s renowned restaurants. Each chef is paired with a local farmer who will provide ingredients fresh from the harvest. This local food festival of sampling, beginning in Downtown Oakville’s Towne Square and stretching along Lakeshore Road in front of participating restaurants, is an outdoor event that will be held rain or shine. In addition to the sampling on the day of the event, downtown Oakville’s Towne Square will come alive with high energy, foot stomping rhythms of the BelleRegards, a Simply Local Farmers’ Market, stories about the history of local agriculture and horse drawn wagon rides. Harvest Halton passports can be purchased online (cost $20.00 including HST) and can be picked up on the Towne Square on the day of event. Passports will guide event attendees to participating restaurant locations and the chefs who will be preparing delicious tastings for the guests. Space is limited to 300 participants. Passports will be available online as quantities last. Interested parties are encouraged to purchase their tickets online prior to the event, as tickets will sell out fast. Roasted corn and fresh apple cider will also be available for purchase ($1 each) on the day of the event.
