NYE 2025
Hip-hop legends ring in 2025 at Celebration Square with the biggest NYE block party in town. Fireworks presented by Tim Hortons.
NYE Jr. — 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Little ones can ring in 2025 and still make bedtime with this jam-packed hour of family-friendly hip-hop fun. Maestro Fresh Wes brings his kid-friendly album, Young Maestro, to the main stage for an unforgettable live show. Then shout, “Happy New Year!”, under a shower of confetti at 9:00 p.m.!
Main Stage
Things shift into high gear as DijahSB brings their own brand of smooth synth loops, booming bass claps, and quick-witted rhymes to the main stage. Then the night’s co-headliners take over, turning the Square into Mississauga’s biggest block party. Coming off Emmy and Peabody wins as host of Hip-Hop Evolution on HBO and Netflix, Shad, will have you grooving with his unmatched lyricism and good vibes. That’s when rising rapper and Mississauga’s own, AR Paisley, brings his raw energy and explosive flow that’s currently taking over the South-Asian hip-hop scene.
All four artists come together for an unforgettable finale performance, celebrating the history of hip-hop in the GTA.
DJ Andre 905 will be spinning all night long alongside hosts, Mariah Amber and Rebecca Tandon.
With tasty food trucks, special Square One giveaways, skating on the City’s largest outdoor rink, fireworks presented by Tim Hortons, and so much more, the Square is the best spot to kick-off 2025!
