The big dinosaur experience is coming to The International Centre with moving dinosaurs, fossil digs, baby dino meet-and-greets, crafts, rides, and play zones for younger kids.

Local Finds
Best Overall

📅 Saturday, July 18 | 📍 Small Arms Inspection Building
The Mom Market Peel Region is bringing a Saturday market to Lakeview with 40 local businesses, kids’ activities, face painting, a tea and coffee bar, music, and photo spots.
It’s a good daytime plan if you want an indoor browse with enough extras to keep kids from getting bored after ten minutes.
Best Offbeat:
Streetsville Comicon

Streetsville gets a pop-culture browse with comic books, toys, video games, sports cards, anime, prints, artists, authors, cosplay, and special guest D’Von Dudley from The Dudley Boyz.

Best Sunday Browse:
Lakeview Artisan Market
📅 Sunday, July 19 | 📍 Small Arms Inspection Building
The Lakeview Artisan Market runs beside the farmers market with more than 30 artisan vendors selling things like ceramics, jewelry, textiles, prints, and handmade goods.

Best Save-Ahead:
Taste of Mississauga Summer Festival
📅 Saturday, July 25 to Sunday, July 26 | 📍 Muslim Neighbour Nexus
Save this for next weekend if your group likes halal food stalls, family activities, community vendors, and a relaxed outdoor festival feel near Ridgeway.
This is a good one to put in the group chat now, before everyone’s Saturday plans scatter.

Malton Has A New Youth Hub
The Malton Youth Hub Jonathan Davis Centre has opened, giving youth in the area a new place for programs, connection, and community support.
