Mississauga gets its own Holiday Street Market and it's FREE

Does the thought of trying to find parking in the Distillery District suck all the Christmas cheer right out of you? Perhaps the $6 admission fee or anticipated overcrowding make you feel a little Grinch-like?

Torontonians eager to kick-start the holidays are in luck. Just head west.

Mississauga is holding its own celebration and not only is it free to attend, it sounds like a really good time.
