Music will soon be in the air on Mississauga’s waterfront. Lakeview Community Partners Limited is lending the Lakeview Village site to a new Friday night concert series, hosted by LiveMag. The events will support local artists, a group that has been deeply impacted by the pandemic’s restrictions, while creating a delightful evening for community spectators, adjacent to the Lakeview Village sunflower field. Six in total, the events will begin on September 11th and run each Friday night through September and October featuring local musicians.

“This concert series is a fun, safe and relaxing way to support local musicians, who have been heavily impacted professionally by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Councillor Stephen Dasko. “We encourage the community to take an evening stroll and come down to the Lakeview Village site to experience this amazing arts and culture initiative on the waterfront.”
