The Oasis Urban Market in Oakville Tags: Oakville, Open-Air Market, Boot Sale, Summer, Drive-In, Shopping

Ever wonder what happens at a drive-in theatre when the sun is out? Markets, that’s what. Every Saturday from May 28th to September 24th. The Oasis Urban Market is actually one of Canada’s largest open air markets.



The Oasis Market website describes atmosphere as “festival-like”. Festivals are pretty great so the organizers and promoters are holding themselves to pretty high standards. So what will you find at this festival like market?



You’ll find lots of uniqe shopping opportunities. There are fresh foods and produce in the farmer’s market area, unique artisan booths, specialty craft makers, and various small business selling health and wellness solutions and consumer goods. There is live entertainment, as well as a kids play area. And don’t forget samples.



One really unique thing about this market is the ‘Boot Sale’ where people can sell things out of the trunk of their car.



Admission and parking are free and there are also deals available for movie passes – after all, the event is at the drive in. It is a great use of space that would otherwise be left to the heat of the summer.
