Just like a cozy hearth is said to be the heart of a home, Celebration Square is the heart of our city. Throughout each season, there’s something special to see and do, with unique events nearly every weekend. During the wintertime, the Square becomes extra magical.
Starting on Saturday, November 23rd it will glow with dazzling spectacles, and the winter festivities will be in full swing. Here’s all the fun you won’t want to miss this season.
Immerse Yourself in Glowing Art Installations
From November 23 to January 6, the Square will be home to the majestic travelling moonGarden light installation. Having journeyed around the world from Brussels to Beijing and beyond, it has been viewed by more than a million people worldwide, and Mississauga is the latest city to host this dazzling display. Featuring delicate shadow theatres and soundscapes presented in spheres, moonGarden invites viewers to dream of a more inclusive world.
Enjoy Free Outdoor Skating
One of the most beloved Mississauga traditions is taking a spin around the city’s largest outdoor ice-skating rink. The lights in the Square make for a truly delightful backdrop for this free, family-friendly activity. If you’re not a regular skater, skates are also available to rent for a nominal fee.
