A Long-Weekend Event is Coming to Celebration Square in Mississauga

 

It might not feel like summer just yet, but warmer weather is coming and the City of Mississauga is starting the season strong with a Summer Kick-Off event at Celebration Square. 

Sponsored by Pepsi, the Kick-Off will invite people from all over Mississauga to celebrate an end to the snow and rain.

The event will take place on Monday, May 20—officially ending the Victoria Day long weekend off on a high note. 

As for what to expect, families can enjoy the event with airbrush face painting, stilt walkers, giant floor pianos, interactive Silly Putty Making Station, or just a splash around in the fountain.
