Carassauga 2024

Carassauga celebrates its 39th Anniversary in 2024! It operated for the first time in 1986 with 10 Pavilions, initially operating only on Saturday and Sunday. It was created in response to a challenge put out by the late Mayor Hazel McCallion to all ethnic cultural groups at a meeting of her calling in the old City Hall in the fall of 1985.

The Festival has become an important annual event in Mississauga’s calendar, and its popularity has steadily increased in recent years.

The organization attributes its success to the many volunteer leaders on the Board who have tirelessly devoted their time and expertise to running the annual 2-day event. In 2017, 5,213 Performers supported by 6,668 Volunteers created an incredible multi cultural experience. The community’s commitment over the years to honouring and showcasing Mississauga’s multicultural landscape is unsurpassed.

Portugal Pavilion

The Portuguese Cultural Centre of Mississauga was one of the founding pavilions and has been representing the Portugal Pavilion every year since 1986. This year was no different. All the hard work from our directors and additional volunteers, made this year a success. Thank you everyone!
