Happy birthday, Canada!
Mississauga is back and ready to bring the community an amazing Canada Day celebration for its 155th birthday.
Wear your favourite splash of red and white, and make your way to Mississauga Celebration Square (MCS) to enjoy a wide range of activities, entertainment and food from a number of taste bud tickling food truck vendors.
The official ceremony will include greetings from Mayor Bonnie Crombie, Members of Council, and special guests. Event attendees are invited to re-confirm their Canadian Citizenship through a reaffirmation oath reading.
There will be no shortage of free family fun for people of all ages to enjoy. Splash away in the fountain, enjoy a retro arcade in the amphitheatre, or snap a selfie with roaming entertainers.
Catch an incredible concert lineup of Canadian artists, featuring Canada’s most inspiring breakout artist and 2022 JUNO award winner, JESSIA, co-headlining alongside multi-platinum performer, elijah woods. The celebration will be hosted by Mississauga’s own Scott Willats, Mariah Amber and Selena Jasmine. The celebration would not be complete without a spectacular fireworks finale, taking place at 10 p.m. presented by Tim Hortons.
