Brave the cold and warm up to a selection of food trucks under the festive holiday lights that will adorn Mississauga’s giant evergreen during the annual Light Up The Square event!
This free event, which will take place on Saturday, Nov 22 from 6 to 9 pm, will feature nine food trucks and some special guests, including outgoing Mayor Hazel McCallion, YTV host Carlos Bustamante, Canadian indie singer/songwriter Derik Baker from Virginia to Vegas and Rebel Coast, a Canadian band and winners of YTV’s The Next Star.
End the night off with ice skating as the ice rink opens up for the season while listening to music from DJ D-Smooth – 2014’s Canadian East Coast Red Bull Thre3style Champ.
There will also be many activities to keep the little ones busy, including the Elves Workshop where you will find arts and crafts, face painting and community performances, roaming performers, horse and carriage rides and toy train rides.
Here is the list of food trucks making an appearance — and the best part is that you can choose the order for your nine-course (food truck) meal!
