When it comes to celebrations, nowhere throws a party quite like Mississauga. When that party is for Canada Day, there’s truly no better place to be.
As one of Canada’s largest cities, Mississauga’s diverse cultural canvas combines some of the best that our country has to offer – from its scenic villages on the shores of Lake Ontario, to its bustling downtown centre, to the thousands of shops and restaurants bringing the world to our doorsteps.
This July 1, head to Mississauga for the ultimate celebration of culture and community, with free, family-friendly festivals happening all across the city.
CANADA DAY AT CELEBRATION SQUARE
Get ready for a showstopping display as Canada Day 2025 fireworks light up the sky while live performances light up the Square.
Starting at 4 p.m., head to the heart of Mississauga for an exciting line-up of entertainment, including, Cirque Revolution’s Rise Up Canada! aerial show, djembe and cellist duo Drome Duo, rapper and viral TikTok star Connor Price, and more.
Along with entertainment, kids can visit Camp Canuck until 8 p.m. for an exciting gymnastic course in the Jumping Kids Bus, Canadian story times, a sensory play zone, a photobooth, face painting and stilt walkers. Pack your swimwear – even the Fountain is getting in on the fun with a splash party!
