A great open area to explore the art, culture, architecture, and history of Mississauga. Great family-friendly space. If you live nearby, there's always events here. Being outdoors, it's also safer right now. Once indoor spaces are opened safely - be sure to check out the museums and other spaces indoors too! In the mean time during the winter - check out their ice rink (in the summer, it's a splash pad) and enjoy skating with family and friends. There are always art installations here that are fun to explore. Located in and around the Square! In warmer months, there are regularly food trucks parked around the Square! Or, if food trucks are not your jam - there are now LOTS of food options just a short walk away. And of course, a little further is the giant Square One shopping mall which holds the fantastic Food District - host of ever-new food options!

Celebration Square! I finally made it over to it. I heard this name countless times when the Raptors made its run to win it all in 2019. Working in Mississauga, I'd hear my friend and colleagues plan to get there and cheer on our team. Last weekend, I was hanging out with a couple of friends at Square One. They said that there were some food trucks at Celebration Square and that we should check them out. The walk from the mall to Celebration Square was roughly five minutes away. It was a gorgeous, sunny day that we simply walked it. We realized that we were at Iriefest. Cool! Celebration Square accommodated all food trucks, food stands, arts, jewellery, and more. There was a massive stage where dancers were strutting their stuff. The music was lively. It was great! There was green AstroTurf that made a square. Nice! Parking is everywhere. You can either use the various Square One parking lots and walk over like we did, or use the paid, underground Celebration Square parking lot. The rates were something like $1 an hour to a maximum of $6 a day. Rates are decent. However, I'd walk a bit further and park for free. I love this place for festivals and cultural events. It's highly accessible and cool. (196)

The ice is finally free...but only for the Zamboni.

Apparently this is the place to skate in Mississauga! It is completely free if you bring your own skates. If you don't have your own skates, there is a hut that rents out skates. It is cash only at $10 for the adult skates. You need a piece of ID for them to hold while you're skating and you collect it when you return the skates. You can also rent those ice walkers that help new skaters get a feel for the motion with some safety. If you forgot mittens or a hat, they do sell some but there's not a lot of selection. Next to the shop, there is a little area to get some hot drinks. There's also muskoka chairs set up under heaters for you to warm up. All along the ice rink they have rubber padding lining the floors so you can walk around in your skates. They even had some leading to the restrooms although I'm not sure if it continued into the bathrooms. The ice was really cut up when we got there with a lot of snow everywhere. We thought that the Zamboni that came out would help with that issue but it didn't do the most important part which was resurfacing the ice! It just brushed all the snow off the ice. A total tease and let down. There were a ton of people there during a holiday day and it got really congested in one particular section of the ice that narrowed. It was so busy that if you're just learning, I can see it getting really scary because people often zoom by or cut right across the path that most skaters are going. I kind of wish they had some sort of rink lifeguard that would stop this for the beginners. There are picnic benches around the ice to let you rest. Most of them were occupied by bags that people had left while they were skating. The City Hall building isn't the most scenic thing to look at but I saw they were trying to spruce things up with some neon signs nearby. There is parking underneath the square. If that is full, I did see a lot of people park at the furthest P3 parking lot that belongs to Square One.

A lovely place for some fun activities. Swings for the children to play and photo booths for the millennials. Open space for groups to hang out. Good options for snacking as well, thanks to the food trucks

Canada Day festivities with lots of food trucks, vendors, entertainment and water for splashing in. Free entrance, LAC fun close by if you want to go in for some A/C and clean washrooms. Plenty of parking close by,.,,underground and outside. Right beside Square One mall as another location to cool down in

Love coming here when there's a food festival!! This weekend was the Filipino festival that had a lot of dancing, shops and food stalls! I was craving halo halo after I had ramen at square one so why not check this even out. I got halo halo and 2 skewers of chorizo. SO GOOD.

Well this is Mississauga's version of Dundas Square. It links the Civic Centre with the Central Library and is Located near Square One. Lot of things happen here! its quite awesome. They have various festivals like Muslim fest and fireworks on Canada day. There is always something going on, they try to keep entertaining people. Summer time if their is no festival, the city usually puts a movie on. Over all its a big square with a large stage, 2 massive TVs and various big speakers! So be ready for concerts.

This is such an awesome place for local events. Ive never seen anywhere that can compare. Theres always something happening here. With daily events during the summer ranging from movie nights to car shows to yoga in the square and even bigger events all year round on the weekend. A huge splash pad in the summer to a skating rink in the winter. Its always exceptionally well maintained. Hungry? Don't worry about it you won't go hungry there's always food trucks and even bevertails which my family loves. If you're up for a great cheap meal though you can go not to far along burnhamthorpe and theres tons of great cheap food options. Right in the heart of the city next to square one and there's always something going on. See some of the pictures taken by some other Yelpers

Main (and most modern) part of the square.

With how often I talk about events at Mississauga City Hall, I am somewhat ashamed that I've never spoken about the biggest space in the city - Celebration Square. After all, any venue that can handle the kinds of events this place runs (on a weekly basis, no less) is well worth your time. I'm not understating things when I say that Celebration Square hosts a good 70-80% of major festivals in the city. Everything from the City Centre Canada Day celebrations, to cultural events like ItalFEST and the annual Ukrainian Festival, more standard fare like the Rotary Ribfest and Farmers' Market, yoga classes and movie nights, and everything in between. It helps that half the square is protected by astroturf, which makes it a very suitable playground for enterprising children. I never fail to see groups of kids playing soccer in the square or just camping out whenever I visit. The square also has a massive stage that is the central nexus for live performances, more "shaded" areas which are prime spots for vendors to park at during festivals, and a giant public fountain on the far side of the square (near City Hall) that is perfect for lounging by on a hot day. Add in stuff like the newly-opened Legends' Row walkway and the nearby flower garden (complete with benches), and you can see how this square appeals to a wide variety of demographics. The city staff really hit the nail on the head when they first envisioned this space. Permanently closing off the street between the library and City Hall has also helped expand the space as a true public square, which I feel is greatly needed in a time where everything is being built up and out with no regard for public spaces. Celebration Square is one of my favored destinations in the city, and I always make it a point to stop and take in everything that's happening whenever I walk through it. Make this a prime spot to visit if you're ever in Mississauga.

Celebration square!! I guess you can say its coming to be like Mississauga's Trademark....located right in the middle of good ol' sauga. Everybody in mississauga knows where celebration square is, its right beside Square one, mississauga library and in front of the Living arts. I'v been here many times in the summer to watch the world cup, festivals and summer work outs they have here on the field. Recently been here a couple days ago when the Skating Rink opened up for the first time this season. There are skate rentals there for $10 Cash only! It gets pretty packed so make sure you come early on the weekends if you need space on the benches to put down your stuff and to avoid line-ups. Most times they have live bands on the stage by the field which is pretty cool to listen to while you are skating....They have washrooms indoors right beside the skating rink and a Café if you get too cold and want a hot chocolate or something. Theres so many things to do around here since its right in middle of everything like the library, square one, theres a second cup not too far from here. Bottom line its pretty fun to enjoy the activites they have here Summer time and Winter time! read more

Located in the heart of downtown Mississauga, across from Square One Shopping Centre, Celebration Square boasts a main stage with a state of the art sound and lighting system, two digital screens, lawn, water feature which converts into an ice rink during the winter months, as well a licensed cafe. Celebration Square is a premier location for free outdoor events, connecting the community through arts and culture. Enjoy a wide mix of free events throughout the year such as community festivals (Ribfest), concerts, movies, and even fitness classes (Zumba, Yoga and Boot Camp). PS: Celebration Square often has free movie events. Great spot for date night. read more

When I used to go to square one a while back I remember a few condo buildings, the mall and a large field beside city hall. Fast forward to 2013 and you have condo buildings that rival that of Singapore or Dubai. This spot is great for large events, concerts, free movies and a splash pad for little ones which is an attraction for young families. I find it funny that there is only a small amount of street vendors in the area, however I am glad that the one that is on site provides delicious crepes. The square also has great access to city hall and its restaurant which allows for some great people watching. Canada celebrations at celebration square are also very impressive with a massive amount of food trucks, and a fireworks display that are sure to impress. Fun fact; there are a large amount of multicultural festivals that take place at celebration square, so don't be surprised to hear some serious bhangra drumming blasting through the loud speakers, read more

@MCSEvents #MISSISSAUGACELEBRATIONSQUARE #CELEBRATE From movie nights, to indie concerts, to Canada Day fireworks, to bootcamp classes to the variety of festivals, Celebration Square is always busy. I've seen Mississauga bloom into a celebration around Square One - growing up was a good memory. The architecture is colonial; I would say somewhat post-modern and unique; and I love it. It's an amazing space for local events, so many cultural events and I am hoping that they open up to pet shows and pet events as well. There's usually ample parking at Square One for most events, except for Canada Day fireworks. read more

The best hangout place in Mississauga! Celebration Square is a stage, cinema, festival, concert, live performance and a hangout!!! Being a resident of Mississauga, you cannot ask for more! Here is the icing on the cake, these are all free events!! The City of Mississauga, prepares all these events on the goodness of their hearts and shoes appreciation to all its residents. I cannot express how much proud I am to say that I live in this city. Back to Celebration Square...this place is schedules for daily clean up. So it is safe and garbage free for all visitors to enjoy. It is also walking distance, to Art Gallery, Square One, library, coffee shops, skateboard park and living arts center. So lots of things to do at after a fun-filled day. One of my favorite events that Celebration square host are free movie nights every Thursday during the summertime. It is enjoyable, great date night and relaxing outside and not in your couch. The audio is amazing and somehow blocked all the automobile noises from Burnhamthorpe Road. Great Engineering, you would never know you live in a city. I think you got jizz of how I feel, its up to you to visit this wonderful place. Their events are posted on the website, so planning ahead is possible. See you all there. read more

I criticize Mississauga's downtown but Celebration Square is neat. Glad that they left a bit of open space in one are rather than building another condo building. If you want something to do then check their website/facebook to see what event they're having. In the winter, they often have free ice-skating. In the summer, I've seen ribest, summerfest, Viet fest, Muslim fest etc and everything's pretty much open to the public and usually free. They screen movies which is nice, why not take your kids on a summer day for a free movie of some classic from the 90s or before rather than spending $10+/ticket at Cineplex? It's in a great location of course. Good way to spend the weekend with the family...go do something in Celebration square and visit the huge library right next to it. On the weekends, the downtown library usually has a sizable book sale, I've found some gems for less than a dollar. I always enjoyed being able to pick up a few books and read in the library as a kid. There's also a Chapters and a Playdium across the road. Mississauga Transit's main bus stop is beside Square One so all these places are right next to each other and you can spend the day here without a car. The city's done a nice job of planning its downtown for the family. Of course there's only so much the city can offer for free, concert bookings would get expensive after a while. So I hope the city sets up more cheaper to organize activities in the future. Ribfest and Carrasauga are nice but more food related festivals that the city can fund through sponsors and of course the vendors would make it so much better, maybe a weekend market/flea market once in a while. read more

Came to Celebration Square on Canada Day to watch the fireworks for my second time. DJ Four Corners was playing some great tunes when we came and it felt like I was at a rave for a bit lol. Was a great way to get pumped and ready for the celebration. They also had a stage where people performed live including Alyssa Reid, with two giant TV screens (I heard they play soccer on then during FIFA, which i'd love to checkout). I was told the fireworks were supposed to start at 10pm, but they didnt start rill 10:15pm. There was a small show with dancers repelled off the side of a building, swinging and flipping around to music. It was lame in my opinion. The fireworks were the best part of the evening. Pretty lights flashing and popping around including swirling fireworks. They even had some sparks go off the building to make it look like a waterfall of orange light. Forgot to mention! If you come here for a big event like Canada Day, I definitely recommend you to park a bit away in a side street as the traffic going home in the square 1 area is packed. i had a good time here for Canada Day. read more

Aaah Celebration Square, where do I begin? I have so many memories in this place I can't even begin to describe it. This square is what makes Mississauga stand out in the GTA; with all the activities, festivals, and celebrations that take place in here, you're bound to find something for you and your family. The annual Rotary Rib Fest is great, as well as the annual Christmas Tree lighting. The square is a host to an array of multicultural festivals that really highlight the beautiful diversity of Mississauga. The splash pool up top turns into an ice skating rink during winter, with music and lights playing for a better experience. It's always clean and smoke free (luckily), and there are always many food trucks during summer to choose from. Sports and movie nights run all summer long, just be sure to follow them on Facebook to check based on weather. Also, whenever there's a crowd, Mississauga goes above and beyond to secure the place and have paramedics ready on hand, just in case. TLDR; a great place to take the family to, especially during summer. Bring a bathing suit for the little ones to splash around, and don't forget to check out all the food trucks :) read more

What better way to start 2017 other than a live concert playing your favorite hits!! Celebration square is the ultimate place for all sorts of festivities, much like the Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto. During the Summer this place is popular for its marathons, rib fest, heritage events, and sports events. Overlooking the square one shopping mall and the central library this place provides the best form of escape from work, school, or if you simply want a free get away! During Christmas this place lights up with carols, skating rink, tree, and a full fledged Christmas market! This place is centrally located among many amazing bars and nightlife amenities. The perfect Location to any Celebration!! read more

This is a great place to feel good. I can remember when it's space was an open field of unkept grass set between and library and City Hall. This is no longer the case. Smooth grass turf is met with widened walkways to create a pedestrian friendly space of socialization. It's open concept design allows people to enjoy the outdoors with a 360 degree unobstructed view. Lastly, a beautiful stage and performance screens are mounted to the Southern edge to provide a perfect venue for good sized shows of art and music. Celebration Square is a great place to live, work and play and has become an example for creating the public space of tomorrow's future. read more

The best place city of Mississauga has ever made is this!!! i really mean it, kids just love to go there for their fun activities IE splash pad, running ground and stage to dance at. Parents like it as its free to all and its pretty much rating PG as of a public area. Mississauga library and a nice restaurant next to it makes it really conveniently situated in the middle of city. All fun festivals of different cultures are more than welcome on this ground, and it gets to give a feel of the back home ground of that culture. this is why who will not love the celebration square grounds!! read more

I must say Mississauga has done well by introducing such a wonderful place to host many community events. One of my most favourite events is Canada Day. Mississauga has the most beautiful fireworks which last up to 10minutes. That is amazing compared to Niagara Falls (which last usually 2-3Minutes). Also, its free! which is a bonus. Their annual rib fest is a must see as well. Overall, I love the fact that the city has taken a extra step to create a meeting space for its community to come together to celebrate. Everyone is welcomed (no matter their background) it is also a great way to see how diverse and accepting Mississauga is. read more

It's great park for walks. It is really popular spot during spring to fall. Trails were pretty wide…read moreso you can be walking along side people biking and a family walking with a stroller. Also, the park is very scenic and photographable (even if you just your phone). The downside: Parking is pretty hard to find during the few times I have visited.

I've taken my kids to beautiful Lake Aquitaine Park when they were young…read more A fishing club I joined back in 1996 actually held annual events at this Mississauga green space for over a decade. This is a tranquil place to walk, jog, cycle, picnic, fish, and so much more. Yes, development continues all around this inner-city lake but it's a nice escape all year-round!

Great park it looks small from the road but actually a good size . Great layout the walk around…read morewhat they call a lake is about 1.5 kilometer it has workout stations through out the park they are clean and in perfect condition. The park it self is very well taken care of. There is no parking. You have to park on the street. They do have a spash pad but it was not working when we where there.

A nice, small park with cherry blossoms for viewing pleasure!…read more Came by with my gf on a sat afternoon to look at cherry blossoms. Unfortunately for us, we were so keen that we arrived a week early so only like 4 trees were in full bloom but the scenery was still beautiful nonetheless. There was a bridge running through the middle and a man-made pond as well (which was inhabited by ducks). Also plenty of benches across the walkways for ppl to sit. The bell was a nice touch in the middle of the park and the aesthetics are very calming and serene. As an FYI, there's tons of ppl taking vids and pics at this park. Location-wise very convenient because it's also situated near Square One shopping center nearby!

It's Thanksgiving Day today. We planned to have a small trip to see maple leaf red Fall colour with…read morefamilies. I saw ppl posted nice pictures a day before. So I decided to go. The park is in Oakville that kind of 1 hr from Toronto. The traffic today was not too bad, we followed GPS to a resident area that saying not able to access the park from there, we parked the car across the street, and walked along the trails. However, we walked about 30 mins, we got to a parking lot again that stating this one is the Lions Valley Parking Lot. That means the one we entered from was part of the park. But not the main entrance. Since we don't have too much time today, we couldn't finish the whole park visiting. If we can have a better sign to show the park from the difference entrance, that would be much better.

A great open area to explore the art, culture, architecture, and history of Mississauga. Great family-friendly space. If you live nearby, there's always events here. There are always art installations here that are fun to explore. Located in and around the Square. There is a large area that during the Winter people can skate and during the Summer it's turned into a splash pad. read more
