How to Spend Valentine’s Day in Mississauga
Looking for something fun to do this upcoming Valentine’s Day? In Mississauga, there’s always something for every kind of way you want to celebrate, from previous years of Valentine’s Day in the ‘Ville to romantic evenings with your loved one. Check out all the great ways you can spend Valentine’s Day in the city.
Valentine’s Day Families with Kids
Why pay for a babysitter when you can take the kids along with you for this special day? Here are some great Valentine’s Day options for those who have kids.
Since Valentine’s Day takes place on a Saturday this year, you’ve got a whole day of love to cover. Start the day with a scrumptious breakfast together as a family. Places like Bobby’s Hideaway serve all-day breakfast, so if you’ve got older kids, there’s no rush.
Next, spend the afternoon at Square One watching the WonderPhil Valentine’s Day Magic Show with free facepainting for kids.
Last, pass an Evening of Rock ‘n Romance with The Dreamboats features rock ‘n roll songs from the ‘50s and ‘60s. It’s a great, lively way to spend time with the family, plus, you can go for a pre-event buffet dinner, making it a no muss, no fuss kind of night.
Romantic Dinner for Two
If you really want to impress your date this year, Mississauga’s culinary scene has some heavy hitters to choose from:
A Taste of Prestige: For a world-class experience, head to Tamarind Modern Indian Bistro, which is officially Michelin-recommended. Their “panipuri shots” and innovative plating make for a dinner that is as much a conversation piece as it is a meal.
Waterfront & Wagyu: If you’re looking for views, Posta Italbar in Port Credit offers a “Postalicious” special (often featuring a “2 can dine” deal with wine) right by the water. For meat lovers, Miga BBQ provides a premium, interactive experience with high-end Wagyu beef that is perfect for a cozy, hands-on date.
Modern Classics: Befikre offers a vibrant, chic atmosphere with a fusion twist, while The Park is a fantastic choice for those who want an elegant, sophisticated setting. Mishree offers a breathtaking, lush interior and craft cocktails that are sure to set a romantic mood.
Something Sweet: If dinner feels too formal, book a “Tea for Two” at Rania’s Cakes. This artisanal boutique in Port Credit offers a stunning afternoon tea service with exquisite handmade treats—it’s the ultimate “low-key but high-class” romantic gesture.
Looking for a romantic dinner to fit within your budget? The Valentine’s Prix Fixe Dinner at the Living Arts Centre or the Valentine’s Day Dinner Party at St. Martha and Mary’s Church are great options.
Galentine’s Day in ‘Sauga
Women celebrating their love and friendship with each other have been super popular ever since the TV show Parks and Recreation created it in 2010. Since then, gal pals have been showering each other with love in a variety of ways. If you’re looking to have a Galentine’s Day, Mississauga’s got options, from chic social events to full-on spa or shopping days. You pick!
Social Events
Maybe you want to spend Valentine’s Day with your partner, but don’t want to miss out on the Galentine’s Day fun. You’re in luck, all of these gal pal events take place on days other than Valentine’s Day.
It’s everything you and the gals want. Love, friendship, and shopping. It’s the 1st Annual Valentine & Galentine Expo in Port Credit on February 7, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, leaving the official day for you and your honey (or other plans).
Arcadian Café & Lounge Mississauga is having a Chic Galentine’s Social the day after Valentine’s Day, February 15, at 7:00 pm. Get ready for a night of food, friendship, dancing, dining, and raffle prizes. Plus, they have a photo booth to capture all the epic moments in style.
Don’t miss out on The Self Love Affair: A Galentine’s Luncheon. It takes place at The Room, Saturday, February 21, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Featuring Aimee Mack and Dr. Jacqueline Kumar, you and your friends will leave feeling inspired and rejuvenated in your self-love journey. Your ticket includes food, activities, giveaways, and more.
Spa it Up!
Going to a spa to celebrate your friends is a classic way to spend the day, and with good reason, you get the benefit of spending time with your ladies, plus you get to pamper yourself in the process. Spoil yourself with a spa party at spots like Glenerin Inn or Cedarhouse Spa.
Have a lower budget, but still want to glam it up? No problem. Get a mani-pedi at any of the many local nail spas. Be sure to book ahead as they get booked up fast.
Shop Til You Drop
Shopping is a great way to spend a day with friends. If you’re looking for top brands and stores that seem to go on and on, Square One fits the bill. If you’d prefer boutique-style shopping, then head to Port Credit or Streetsville for luxury at a leisure pace.
Single and Ready to Mingle… or Not
Don’t want to be alone this Valentine’s Day? Come out to Singles Night, a 19+ event with dancing, music, and snacks.
Prefer to indulge yourself alone with some sweet treats? Craveables Café is open late and known for making Valentine’s Day special treats perfect for a solo date.
