/Updated November 3rd.
On September 29th, 2025, the City of Mississauga announced that the Mississauga Santa Claus parade, previous presented by the Mississauga Auto Mall at Dundas and Glen Erin, will take place at Celebration Square for 2025.
While there’s no confirmation that this will be the case in future years, the hub for community activities in Mississauga, Celebration Square, will likely see this event happen on an on-going basis.

Fittingly themed “Shine Bright, Sauga!”, this new evening parade invites participants to deck their floats or costumes with bright, colourful LEDs and shine a light on their culture, holiday traditions and proud community spirit. The City of Mississauga is proud to support non-profit organizations in participating in the parade by providing access to essential resources and collaborative planning opportunities.”
