Mississauga Italfest Inc.

Named one of the Top 100 Festivals & Events in Ontario from 2016 to 2024, Italfest takes place annually in August and is a free event celebrating the beauty of Italian music, heritage, and culture. After record-breaking attendance last year, we are thrilled to again celebrate our 12th Anniversary, August 23 - 24, at Mississauga's beautiful Celebration Square. Italfest's thriving "mercato" (market) features authentic Italian cuisine and delicious foods of the world as well as showcasing crafts and products from a variety of vendors and artisans. The Kidzone presents live performances and family-friendly activities while the Heritage Centre offers displays and exhibits of history, music, and art. Main Stage entertainment abounds with comedy, celebrity chefs and dancers, plus popular local, and International talent including headliners direct from Italy. Mississauga Italfest spotlights and pays tribute to a community rich in heritage, entertainment, culinary delights, family fun and diversity in Ontario.
