Mississauga kicks off holidays with Christmas market and tree lighting this month

Holiday Street Market might have moved to Milton for the 2017 season, but that doesn’t mean the city isn’t also decking the halls at Mississauga Celebration Square.

The official kick-off and tree lighting will take place on Saturday, November 25 and promises an evening of live music, a holiday market featuring 50+ artisans and food vendors, the season opener for the outdoor ice rink, photos with Santa, family-friendly activities, and more.

“On behalf of the City of Mississauga and Members of Council, we invite everyone to join us for the much-anticipated Light Up The Square event taking place at Celebration Square to kick off the Holiday and Christmas season here in Mississauga,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie in a press release. “From the bustling Holiday Street Market to outdoor skating and the lighting of Mississauga’s tallest natural Christmas tree – there are so many things for families to see, do and enjoy. Celebration Square is in the heart of our City for a reason. It’s where Mississauga comes together and comes alive – especially during the Holiday and Christmas season.”

Presenting sponsor Rabba Fine Foods will be there serving up FREE hot chocolate and raising funds for The Mississauga Food Bank.
