Good morning Mississauga,
This week looks a little more mixed on the weather side, so this edition leans into plans that are solid picks rain or shine.
There is a wonderful Sunday market, a Saturday night concert, a few backup options, and two food features worth keeping on your radar.
Let’s get into it!

Top Picks This Week
The Sunday Antique Market
The Sunday Antique Market at the Small Arms Inspection Building
📅 Sunday, April 19 | 📍 Small Arms Inspection Building
If you love a good market, start here.
This one is packed with antiques, vintage pieces, collectibles, jewelry, furniture, and the kind of finds that make you want to circle back for a second lap before heading out. It’s free to get in, free to park, and very easy to turn into a relaxed Lakeview outing.
Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay
📅 Saturday, April 18 | 📍 Small Arms Inspection Building
If you want a Saturday night plan that already comes with the atmosphere built in, this is a great pick.
This is a live candlelight concert featuring Coldplay’s biggest hits, so you get the music, the low-lit ambience, and hopefully A Sky Full of Stars.
Quick Hits
Luna Witches Market
📅 Friday, April 17 | 📍 Vic Johnston Community Centre
A Friday night market with tarot, holistic vendors, candles, crystals, and plenty to browse. A good pick if you want something a little more offbeat without leaving Mississauga. Grab your tickets fast because sales end soon!
Mississauga Music Nights
📅 Saturday, April 18 | 📍 The Rec Room, Square One
A good casual Saturday night option if you want live music without making the whole evening too complicated.
It’s an easy indoor plan for a night that starts with drinks, some music, and a bit of energy, without needing the full commitment of a theatre show or bigger ticketed event.
Vaisakhi - Rooted to Punjab
📅 Sunday, April 19 | 📍 Royal Palm Banquet
If you want something with real energy on Sunday, this is the pick. Live Punjabi music and dance give it the feel of a proper community celebration.

Easy Plan This Week
Kariya Park and Spring in Bloom
Start with a walk through Kariya Park, the Japanese garden tucked into downtown Mississauga.
The cherry blossoms are not fully here yet, but they should be any day now. They usually bloom in late April to early May, and the window is short once they arrive.
Then head to Square One for Spring in Bloom in the Grand Rotunda. The floral display runs through May 11 and gives you an easy indoor second stop that still feels bright and seasonal, even if the weather stays grey. There is also a spring giveaway tied to it.

This Week’s Best Eats
Sauga Spotlight
thairoomgrand
Bold Thai flavours, colourful plates, and a menu worth getting excited about.
📍 2116 Burnhamthorpe Rd W, Mississauga
South Common just got a Thai spot where the curry, noodles, and cocktails will transport you to the heart of Southeast Asia.
thairoomgrand has officially opened its 9th location, bringing a menu designed to impress from the very first visit. Grand Pad Thai comes tossed in rich tamarind sauce, Pad See Ew delivers sweet soy with Chinese broccoli, and Khao Soi arrives as a comforting coconut curry topped with crispy noodles.
Add flavourful satay skewers and handcrafted cocktails, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a memorable night out.
The doors just opened and it's already shaping up to be a must-visit spot in South Common.

Port Side Pizza & Wings Co.
Butter chicken pizza with tender chicken, roasted peppers, red onions, mozzarella, and golden butter chicken sauce.
📅 Open daily, 11:00am to 10:00pm; until 11:00pm Fri-Sat
📍 56 Lakeshore Rd E Unit B, Mississauga
Port Side’s Butter Chicken pizza is a very good reason to switch up your usual order.
You still get a hot crust, melted mozzarella, and the comfort of a classic pizza order, but with butter chicken sauce, roasted peppers, red onions, and tender chicken layered in.
It gives you something a little more interesting to dig into, without losing the ease of a familiar takeout favourite.
The sauce is rich, the chicken is generous, and the onions and peppers keep each bite from feeling too heavy.
They are also on Uber Eats, and do catering as well if you need to feed a bigger group.
The perfect call when you want comfort food with a little more flavour than the usual.

Quick Poll:
What kind of Sauga events do you want more of?
What’s New in Sauga
Heavy rain alert for Mississauga
The City says heavy rain is moving through Mississauga and water levels are still high. Best move is to stay away from creeks, rivers, stormwater ponds, and the shoreline until things settle down.
A new T&T has opened in Erin Mills
The new T&T at 3060 Ridgeway Dr is open, and this is the kind of grocery opening that gets people lined up early.
The draw is not just that it is new. It is that you can do a very different kind of grocery run there. Hot food, sushi, bakery items, egg tarts, PaPa Chicken, seafood, snacks, and harder-to-find pantry staples all sit under one roof, which is exactly why people get so excited about a T&T opening in the first place.
Two rapid transit routes move closer to construction
This matters because both the Dundas BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) and the Lakeshore BRT are moving closer to the first shovels in the ground.
This is good news if you want better east-west transit. It’s also the kind of update that many Mississauga drivers will read with some dread, because of how frustrated people already are with transit construction slowing down traffic on Hurontario.
Thanks For Reading
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 next week!
