Special Article… Special Festival

It has been designated as one of Ontario’s “Top 100 Festivals” by FEO (Festivals and Events Ontario)! It has won numerous awards of excellence! And, it is one of the top 5 festivals that Judi and I have visited! I am talking about the Mississauga Waterfront Festival! You can read my original 2007 article HERE. The reason Judi and I enjoyed the Festival so much was that it was fun and interesting and, we didn’t want to leave! There so many great activities available to see, that it was difficult to know where to begin! We started at the petting zoo, moved to McCann Dogs and then to the Mississauga Future Stars contest. The activities were non-stop and they were well timed. Talk about getting your monies worth! Then there were the trampoline demonstration, the Ojibway story teller, the Ojibway dancers, Barney, Jungle Cat World and their exotic animals and the Jet Ski stunt show and more! There was even a large midway!

According to Festival Event/Artistic Manager, Patti Jannetta-Baker, this year’s Mississauga Waterfront Festival will even be better (hard to imagine)! Here are some (and I mean some) of the awesome show and activities that await this year’s visitors!
