Explore Cultures

Our cultural organizations represent a Pavilion within the Festival and are located in various cultural and recreation centres within Mississauga giving visitors an opportunity to ‘travel the world’ without leaving the City.  Once inside a Pavilion, visitors are surrounded by the sights, sounds and tastes of the country being represented. 

The festival offers live cultural entertainment featuring local artists (dancers, singers, bands) on 17 stages within our 8 locations.
