This town near Toronto is straight out of your "wildest dreams." The area is transforming into a Taylor Swift-themed paradise ahead of the Eras Tour and it's a way cheaper outing than the concert.

Oakville, located just outside of Toronto, is getting a major Taylor Swift makeover ahead of her Eras Tour concerts in the city this November.

The quaint harbour town is "is ready to roll out the red carpet for Swifties" and "offers a charming and convenient destination for fans," according to a press release.

The town has put together a range of Swift-themed events and experiences to celebrate the upcoming tour, from baked goods to unique merch.

"Oakville is excited to welcome Taylor Swift fans this fall," Rebecca Edgar, Executive Director, Visit Oakville said in the release.

"With our stunning scenery, top-notch restaurants, and warm community spirit, we’re confident that Swifties will find Oakville to be the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the excitement surrounding the concerts."

Some of the activations include Taylor Swift Eras Cupcakes that reveal what era you are from The Sweetest Thing, Taylor Swift-themed paint nights, a Taylor Swift Silent Disco and a "Sparks Fly" Charm Party.

You can see a full list of Taylor Swift events on the Visit Oakville website.

If you missed out on those Eras Tour tickets or are just looking for another reason to celebrate your Swiftie-ness, Oakville is the place to be.
