Mississauga Celebration Square is a popular award-winning square right in the middle of the business district. It is an outdoor public square, urban park, and event venue and is the cultural hub of the area. It showcases the achievements of noteworthy residents of the area in Mississauga Legends Row. The impressive Art Gallery of Mississauga is just behind the square and the Living Arts Centre home to Mississauga’s vibrant performance and the theatre arts community is nearby. The Central Library and the very big Square One Shopping Centre are also close

Port Credit is located at the mouth of the Credit River. It is known as the ‘Village on The Lake’ and it has its own unique atmosphere, partly created by the historical charm of homes in Old Port Credit Village dating back to the mid-1800s and an iconic working lighthouse. It’s a popular destination for shopping and has an excellent selection of restaurants. There are plenty of park benches along the pier for a great view of the lighthouse and watching the sailboats, ducks, and stand-up paddleboarders. The Saturday morning farmers market is well worth a visit for live music, local produce, and tasty treats!
