The biggest weekly summer festival returns to Mississauga's Port Credit with Classic Country Thursdays

Dust off your cowboy boots and head down to Mississauga’s scenic Port Credit for Classic Country Thursdays.

Every Thursday this August from 5 to 8 p.m., Port Credit transforms into a lively celebration of vintage charm and country flair, with live music, dancing, and tons of entertainment.

Stroll along the main street lined with gorgeous vintage cars while enjoying the sounds of live music from the main stage at Elmwood Lot (3 Elmwood Ave N) and the street performances at participating businesses #INThePort.

But that’s not all: line dancing, games, a mechanical bull, mini Ferris wheel, axe throwing, and a wheel of prizes means there’s something for everyone to enjoy, whether you’re a die-hard country fan, a car enthusiast, or just looking for some summer fun.

Look out for special guests Brampton Batman on the 14th and Tim Burr the Circus Lumberjack on the 28th!
