Entertainment and activities | June 22, 2018
If you liked last year’s Canada 150 party on Mississauga Celebration Square, you’re going to love what the 151 has to offer.
Multi-award-winning super group, MAGIC! is set to headline the Canada Day party of the summer on the Square.
MAGIC! isn’t the only rabbit in the Square’s top hat. From JUNO-winning folk artist, William Prince and world-renowned Canadian scratch DJ, Kid Koala to a full line-up of kids’ programming at Camp Canuck, this is an event worth travelling for. Attendees can make a splash in the fountain in the afternoon and cap the celebrations off with a spectacular fireworks finale at 10:05 p.m. presented by Tim Hortons.
The official ceremony will put guests in a proud-to-be-Canadian state-of-mind. Mayor Bonnie Crombie and Members of Council will lead a reaffirmation oath encouraging attendees to re-confirm their Canadian Citizenship.
ET Canada’s Sangita Patel, Global News’ Antony Robart and Alan Carter and 640 Toronto’s Tasha Kheiriddin will host the event which includes a full day of family-friendly entertainment.
