Mississauga Celebration Square

Mississauga Celebration Square is an open-air gathering space in the city center featuring a large LED display and an outdoor fountain that operates during warmer months. The area transforms into an ice skating rink when winter arrives, creating seasonal uses for the plaza.

The square opened in 2011 as part of a city plan to create a central communal meeting point for the rapidly expanding population. This development reflected the city's need for new public spaces that could host large gatherings.

The square serves as the city's main gathering spot for celebrations and performances that reflect the diverse communities living in the area. Different groups use the space year-round to share their traditions and connect with neighbors.

The venue sits at the intersection of Burnhamthorpe Road West and Duke of York Boulevard, offering accessible facilities and free Wi-Fi for visitors. Keep in mind the season when planning your visit, as the available activities shift with weather and time of year.

The adjacent Queen's Jubilee Garden includes a series of plaques called Legends Row that honor notable people from the community. These quiet memorials are easy to overlook while walking through, making them a subtle way to learn about local figures.
