OAKVILLE – Now that the holiday season is approaching, Visit Oakville is excited to announce the return of our popular Talk of the Town Awards, inviting the public to cast their vote from November 4-10 for the best holiday venue in Oakville. 

This category aims to recognize Oakville locations that offer holiday venue rentals with exceptional holiday experiences, bringing festive spirit and joy to residents and visitors alike.  It celebrates venues that go above and beyond with seasonal décor, special holiday programming or menus, welcoming atmospheres that create memorable moments for families and friends, making Oakville a must-visit destination during the holiday season.    The Best Holiday Venue award criteria are inclusive, highlighting any rental venue – whether a restaurant, hotel or community space – that brings holiday charm, warmth and festive activities to Oakville. VOTE here.

The process is simple: type in the name of the local business you believe offers the best holiday venue. The business with the most votes wins.

Visit Oakville will announce the winner and the runners-up over social media the following week. Winners will be featured in Visit Oakville’s monthly newsletter and presented with a window decal so everyone knows whose holiday venue is the Talk of the Town.
