Mississauga Italfest

Mississauga Italfest is Mississauga’s first and premier Italian festival. Italfest normally takes place annually in August, and is a free event celebrating Italian heritage right in the heart of the city at Celebration Square. Mirrored after Italy’s national holiday Ferragosto, Mississauga Italfest, annually welcomes bambini to Nonni (children to grandparents), to share, experience and enjoy the aroma, sights and sounds of a traditional Italian festival. 

Our vibrant city of Mississauga reflects a rich, cultural mosaic of people and languages from around the globe. From those first 8,000 eager visitors in 2013, Italfest grew to welcome an enthusiastic audience of over 30,000 fans in 2019 and our first-ever virtual event "A Virtual Taste of Mississauga Italfest" on June 26, 2021 at 7:00 pm EDT.

Watch some of Italfest’s favourite past singers, dancers, and musicians and relive exciting moments with iconic Superstars who performed in person each year direct from Italy!
