Top Picks This Week
The Harlem Globetrotters 100 Year Tour
The Harlem Globetrotters
📅 Thursday, April 16 | 📍 Paramount Fine Foods Centre
This one lands just outside the usual weekly window, but it’s too big to leave until next issue. The Harlem Globetrotters are in Mississauga next Thursday at 7:00 p.m., with tickets starting at $41. It’s a classic family-friendly event, and a great way to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Spring Market at Square One
📅 Thursday, April 9 to Sunday, April 12 | 📍 Square One
If you want an easy plan with more to it than the usual Square One stop, start here. VBRNT is running a four-day Spring Market at Square One from April 9 to 12. It’s an easy way to shop from local small businesses, and pick up a few spring finds along the way.

Celtic Rhythms
📅 Saturday, April 11 | 📍 Meadowvale Theatre
One of the stronger Saturday night ticket picks this week. The Mississauga Pops are bringing an Irish and Celtic program to Meadowvale Theatre with guest performers, making this a lively local option for the weekend.
Quick Hits
The Carly Simon & James Taylor Story
📅 Thursday, April 9 | 📍 Meadowvale Theatre
A strong Thursday night pick for anyone who grew up on Carly Simon and James Taylor. This show features their songs, including classics like You’re So Vain, Fire and Rain, Mockingbird, and Anticipation, as well as the story behind the music.
Sounds from Damascus
📅 Saturday, April 11 | 📍 Heartland
A good Saturday night pick if you want live music that feels rich, lively, and different from the usual theatre lineup. This Mississauga-based Syrian ensemble is putting on an evening of classic Arabic music and culture, built around the songs of Lebanese singer Sabah, whose music became known for getting generations of people dancing, singing, and celebrating.
ABBA Revisited
📅 Wednesday, April 15 | 📍 Meadowvale Theatre
A fun midweek ticket pick if you want to channel your inner Dancing Queen. If you know the words to even one ABBA song, you already know the kind of night this will be.
Easy Plan This Week
Clarkson waterfront walk
📍 Clarkson
Start with a walk through Jack Darling Memorial Park, where you get lake views, a stretch of the waterfront trail, and easy access to Rattray Marsh. Then head to The Daly Grind, a Clarkson café, market, and co-working spot with excellent coffee, tea, and locally renowned scones. It’s an easy way to turn a waterfront walk into a proper outing.
Restaurant of the Week
Indian Cuisine by the Lake
Indian Cuisine by the Lake offers a rich selection of curries, biriyani, tandoori dishes, and more.
📅 Open daily, 11:00am to 10:00pm; until 11:00pm Fri-Sat
📍 56A Lakeshore Rd E, Port Credit
If you want a Port Credit dinner with more flavour than the usual, start here.
This family-run spot has been serving Port Credit since 1984.
You can watch the chefs at work in the open kitchen while fresh naan, tandoori meats from the clay oven, and rich curries come together.
Start with the butter chicken, then tear into the garlic naan while it’s still warm.
After that, go for the biriyani, chicken tikka masala, or a thali, a platter with a little bit of everything.
There is plenty here for meat eaters, vegetarians, and everyone in between.
You can also order from them on Uber Eats, and they offer catering too if you need food for a larger group.
Book ahead before the weekend rush.
Eat This Week
Port Side Pizza & Wings Co.
Margherita pizza with fresh basil, melted mozzarella, and tomato sauce.
📅 Open daily, 11:00am to 10:00pm; until 11:00pm Fri-Sat
📍 56 Lakeshore Rd E Unit B, Port Credit
If you’re in the mood for pizza and wings in Port Credit, Port Side is a very easy yes.
Think hand-stretched dough, house-made marinara, generous cheese, and slices that feel like a proper meal. The Dockside Pepperoni is a strong place to start, especially if you like a classic pizza done well.
Then get wings with one of their house-made dips on the side. The creamy garlic is one of the things people talk about most, and it is well worth adding.
It has that old-school neighbourhood pizza-shop feel that people get attached to fast, with enough range on the menu to go from a classic pepperoni night to a spicy vodka rosé or butter chicken pizza.
They also do Uber Eats delivery, plus catering for parties, office orders, and bigger group meals.
They’re the perfect answer to your next Port Credit pizza craving.
What’s New in Sauga
New rules aimed at renovictions
Mississauga has approved a new by-law aimed at cracking down on unlawful renovictions. Starting September 1, landlords will need a city licence before doing major renovations or repairs that require a tenant to leave.
Earth Days starts next week
Mississauga’s Earth Days program starts April 13, with events running through June 6 across the city.
Along with tree planting and other eco-focused events, one of the more useful ones is a repair hub on April 25 at Hazel McCallion Central Library, where you can bring things like bikes, electronics, clothing, toys, and small appliances to get fixed instead of throwing them out.
