Welcome to Mississauga and our 2019 Visitor Guide. On behalf of the Mississauga Tourism Board and our hospitality industry, I invite you to find out why Mississauga is the place to visit. Build your “Bucket List” as you plan your stay. There’s a lot to choose from, whatever you enjoy doing. Take in a show or view fine art at a local theatre or art gallery. Spend time outdoors, fish along the Credit River, walk or run our trails, play at top golf courses, or see nature and wildlife. Watch top-level sports action like hockey, basketball, soccer, baseball and cricket. Visit a summer festival at Celebration Square. Or just relax at a soothing spa.
