The Oak Park Neighbourhood Centre (OPNC) is having a dance party and Oakville residents are invited.
The dance party with the Oakville Academy for the Arts is one of several scheduled events headlining this year’s Oak Park Fall Fair being held on Saturday, Sept. 10, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., at the Oak Park Neighbourhood Centre.
Other fun events include children’s entertainer Lenny Graft, Jason on Saxophone, artists Bandology, Grace Academy of Dance and Performing Arts, a Fat Clown act and top the night off by grabbing your own blanket and chairs and watch the Minions movie under the stars.
You can also order a BBQ diner ahead of the event for $7.
There’s lots to do and it’s all for a good cause.
Started by six women in 1999, Oak Park Neighbourhood Centre says it has since served over 17,571 people.
