🇿🇦 Get Ready for Carassauga 🇨🇵
Last year I spoke to the organizer of Carassauga and she could not believe all the enthusiasm from many other countries to participate in this event. Carassauga has become Canada’s largest multicultural event. This year it spans over 5 different locations in Mississauga and goes from Friday May 26 to Sunday May 28.
Passports are $15.00 (Valid for Festival weekend) A passport entitles the visitor to unlimited visits to all the Cultural Pavilions with access to live performances, various foods and kids activities throughout the Festival weekend. Children 12 and under are FREE when accompanied by an Adult Passport holder. The passport also allows you FREE Ridership on all MiWay regularly scheduled bus routes and on special Carassauga buses connecting all the locations during the Festival’s operating hours.
If you are interested in checking out a variety of delicious ethnic food and performances from cultures around the world, mark May 26 weekend on your calendar!

There are many cultures represented in the 26 pavilions. You can immerse yourself in the music, cultural dances, and games from each pavilion. While enjoying the Ukrainian dancers, have some perogies! Visit India for a Bollywood movie while munching on samosas and gulab jamin. Try Vietnam for pho! And there is so much more! You have three days to see the world. I hope you get out and enjoy it.
