Mississauga Italfest is a vibrant celebration of Italian culture in Mississauga. Recognized as one of Ontario’s Top 100 Festivals (2016–2025), the festival takes place each August in celebration of Ferragosto, Italy’s national holiday.

The festival brings the community together for a lively weekend filled with live music, traditional and contemporary performances, and authentic Italian cuisine—from fresh pasta and pizza to espresso and cannoli. Guests can explore cultural showcases, local vendors, and family-friendly activities that capture the spirit and passion of Italy.

More than just a festival, Italfest is a celebration of heritage, community pride, and the lasting contributions of the Italian-Canadian community to Mississauga’s cultural landscape.
