Carassauga Festival of Cultures
22 May - 24 May 2026 Starts in 328 day(s)
Event Description
Carassauga Festival is an incorporated non-profit volunteer community organization celebrating multiculturalism since 1985.
The Festival has become an important annual 3 day event in Mississauga’s calendar and its popularity has steadily increased in recent years. As the largest multicultural Festival in Ontario, Carassauga’s mission is to organize a city-wide family oriented event. Our goal is to provide community groups, from different countries of origin, an opportunity to promote public awareness, appreciation and respect among all Canadians of different heritage. Each cultural organization represents a Pavilion within the Festival and are located in various cultural and community centers within Mississauga giving the visitors an opportunity to ‘travel the world’ without leaving the city. During the festival weekend, guests visit multiple pavilions having their Carassauga passport stamped as they enter. Festival visitors can “ride for free” on our shuttle bus service that connects them directly to all pavilion locations. Once inside a pavilion, visitors are surrounded by the sights, sounds and tastes of the country being represented. Each pavilion depicts their culture through food, entertainment, art, historical displays and vendors. The festival is suitable for all ages and children 12 and under are FREE.
