Today’s question is about Victoria Day long weekend activities.  

What events are happening in Mississauga for the Victoria Day long weekend?

This long weekend, if you’re not out taking a road trip and plan to keep it local, there are many fun activities to consider in Mississauga. Whether with friends, family or with your kids, check out the below list:

Embrace the Outdoors at a Park or Trail

Run, walk or bike at one of the City’s many parks and trails. There’s a park for everyone with various amenities such as playgrounds, picnic areas, outdoor fitness equipment, leash-free zones, soccer fields and more. Search for a park at eparks.ca.

Learn a New Skill at the Library

There will be plenty of library activities for kids of all ages on the Saturday (May 18). Parents can bring their child for Family Storytime, Reading Buddies (also available in French), LEGO Club and more. With May being Maker Month, there will also be a Makerspace Open House (Courtneypark Library) and a 3D Design learning session (Meadowvale Library) for all ages.

Experience the Bradley Museum from a Different Perspective

Iranian-Canadian artist, Sophie Sabet, brings her idea of what home is to the museum space by transforming the museum’s 1830s domestic setting into an autobiographical exhibition that deals with the complexities of her Iranian-Canadian home. I Almost Didn’t Feel You Leave runs from May 11 to June 16.

The Bradley Museum will be closed on May 20 (Victoria Day).
