It is supported by the Town of Oakville and volunteers. Building on the success of the past two years, Doors Open Oakville will continue to allow visitors free access to locations that are either not usually open to the public, or would normally charge an entrance fee. This year, the event will host a new arts and cultural component with several hubs around town featuring local dancers, musicians and artists. Many of the locations will have guided tours, special displays, exhibitions and kid-friendly activities. Organizers need volunteers to act as site guides and attendants.
