Getting there: Driving, parking and transit

Rather than driving around looking for a parking spot or attempting to parallel park into that tight spot, consider using MiWay to get around this holiday season. MiWay connects residents and visitors across Mississauga. You can visit the MiWay website to plan your route. Free parking is available in Port Credit and Clarkson from now until January 15, 2023. Paid parking will remain in effect in the Downtown and Streetsville.

In addition to the many unique local shopping options available, Mississauga’s malls provide shoppers with countless options, even for the toughest-to-buy-for person on your list. Most malls are now operating on holiday hours, giving shoppers more flexibility to shop at times that best suit their schedules. Be sure to check mall hours before heading out.
