June is wasting no time.

This week brings one of Streetsville’s biggest traditions, a free Polish festival at Celebration Square, a full day of piano music in Port Credit, and a few easy food stops if you’re heading out.

There’s also a summer programs guide in this issue for parents and caregivers planning ahead.

Let’s get into it!

📍 Clarkson

🛏 3 bed | 🛁 3 bath

💰 $1,728,888

2453 Bonner Road has the kind of backyard that makes the property feel special right away. There’s an in-ground pool with a waterfall, cabana with kitchenette, sound system, outdoor bathroom, covered entertaining area, and a polished outdoor setup made for hosting.

It’s the kind of space that works for long summer nights, family weekends, dinner outside, and music by the pool.

Inside, the home keeps the same polished feel. The chef’s kitchen has custom cabinetry, premium quartz, high-end appliances that blend into the cabinets, and a designer look that fits the rest of the property.

You also get upgraded windows and doors, heated bathroom floors, premium fixtures, Bose speakers throughout, and a finished basement with a two-person sauna.

You’re also in Clarkson, one of west Mississauga’s most established pockets, with access to Clarkson GO, lakefront parks, schools, shops, and easy connections into Oakville and the rest of the GTA.

For someone who wants a polished west Mississauga home with luxury finishes, serious backyard energy, and a resort-like feel, this listing has the full lifestyle package.

📅 Friday, June 5 to Sunday, June 7 | 📍 Streetsville Memorial Park

Bread and Honey is back for its 54th year, and it’s still one of Mississauga’s most anticipated early-summer festivals.

Expect carnival rides, live entertainment, food vendors, artisan booths, and the Busy Bee Island family area on Saturday and Sunday with inflatables, train rides, face painting, a kids stage, climbing wall, and a local market.

Admission is paid at the gate. Kids 12 and under get in free.

📅 Friday, June 5 to Saturday, June 6 | 📍 Mississauga Celebration Square

Celebration Square will be transformed into a Polish cultural festival this weekend with traditional food, live performances, beer gardens, kids activities, art, and cultural exhibits.

This is a good low-lift evening plan if you want food, music, and a central spot where you can drop in for a bit without committing your whole day.

Entrance and parking are free.

Details

📅 Saturday, June 6 | 📍 Christ First United Church

A full day of piano music in Port Credit, with four recital blocks running from afternoon into evening.

One pay-what-you-wish ticket gives you access to the whole day, so you can go for just one set or stay longer.

Tickets

📅 Friday, June 5 | 📍 Christ First United Church

Mississauga’s new professional classical music ensemble is launching with a one-hour concert in Port Credit.

The program includes music from Vivaldi, Handel, and Geminiani, plus soprano Anna Wojcik. It’s a simple Friday night option if you want live music without a late night.

Tickets

📅 Saturday, June 6 | 📍 Crock A Doodle, 5602 Tenth Line W.

A pottery-painting afternoon with a non-alcoholic drink included.

You’ll paint your own mug, get the supplies you need, and support a fundraiser tied to international youth programs. It’s a calmer Saturday option for anyone who wants something hands-on instead of another big crowd.

Keep this one simple: take a short waterfront walk around Port Credit Memorial Park and the harbour, then stop at Scoops Ice Cream on Lakeshore.

Scoops is close to the water and makes its ice cream in-house, with cones, sundaes, splits, dipped cones, and dairy-free options.

It works as a quick family stop, a low-pressure date idea, or a short after-dinner walk if you’re already near the Lakeshore.

Details

📍 Square One

Las Muns is a new Square One stop for handmade empanadas that work for lunch, a snack, or an easy takeout box.

The menu has savoury options like Thai Chicken, Mushrooms Camembert, G.O.A.T with goat cheese and caramelized onions, Margherita, Steak and Eggs, Spicy Beef, and Creamy Spinach. If you want something sweet, look at the Apple Pie or Dulce-Banana.

Good for a quick Food District bite, a mall lunch that feels different, or grabbing a mixed box to share.

📍 362 Lakeshore Rd. W. / 245 Lakeshore Rd. E.

Pizza Nostra is a family-run Port Credit pizza spot with big thin-crust pies and square Sicilian pizzas.

Go for a classic cheese or pepperoni, or look at the Marco Special with pepperoni, oregano, fresh basil, fresh mozzarella, aged mozzarella, and tomato sauce. The vodka pepperoni is another good call if you want something richer and a little spicy.

Good for a casual pizza night, a Port Credit pickup order, or feeding a few people without making dinner complicated.

Menu

📍 33 City Centre Dr.

Tamarind is a modern Indian restaurant near City Centre with a big shareable menu.

Start with panipuri shots, Chicken 65, Delhi-style spring rolls, or dahi ke kebab, then move into dal makhni, palak paneer, lamb Roganjosh, biryani, or a mixed grill. For dessert, look at the gulab jamun cheesecake or rasmalai sundae.

Mississauga’s public World Cup screenings begin at Celebration Square on Thursday, June 11.

The City is showing select matches on the big screens from June 11 to July 19. Admission is free, but not every match will be shown, so check the schedule before you make plans.

The first listed screenings include Mexico vs. South Africa and South Korea vs. Czechia on June 11, followed by Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 12.

Details

Police were called to a home near Elmwood Avenue South and Lakeshore Road East on Saturday after a resident found what police described as a “military artifact” in a family member’s older belongings.

Peel police said an early look suggested it was likely a smoke device, meaning it would produce smoke rather than shrapnel. The explosive disposal unit was called in, nearby residents were asked to shelter in place or evacuate as a precaution, and the item was safely disposed of.

Details

A major road project is moving ahead on Ninth Line between Eglinton Avenue West and Derry Road West.

The City is widening the 6.7 km stretch from two lanes to four, with new sidewalks, cycle tracks, curbs, drainage, lighting, transit-stop upgrades, and intersection improvements also planned.

The work is meant to support future growth in the area, with the project expected to wrap up in late 2027.

Details

The goal is simple: make it easier to know what’s happening around Mississauga and prove our city is more interesting than people think.

See you Tuesday!
