Bronte
Bronte is a former fishing village which became annexed in 1962 with the former Township of Trafalgar, forming the Town of Oakville.

Where can I park my car?
There is street parking along Bronte road but parking is scarce. We encourage you to carpool when possible or take Oakville Transit to the Mall at Jones & Lakeshore and walk 2 blocks south. Many businesses are closed on the Civic Holiday and may have space available. The Oakville Art Society usually negotiates all-day free parking with the Town Of Oakville.
