Port Credit is bringing a touch of European charm to the waterfront with its outdoor Christmas market, complete with glowing lights, a towering tree and that cozy village feel many of us love from winter getaways. It is the kind of place where you can wander slowly, take in the scents of warm treats and enjoy the simple joy of being out in the community.

Families will find interactive ice sculptures, festive characters and plenty of handmade gifts from local vendors. With music floating through the air and special touches like the memory tree, the market captures that inviting, old-world atmosphere while staying wonderfully Mississauga at heart.

Country fans across Mississauga are buzzing after the festival revealed its 2026 lineup, featuring The Chicks and Rascal Flatts on the main stage. With a mix of favourites and rising stars, it feels like one of the most exciting summers ahead for anyone who loves a good sing along under the sky.

Many locals make a full weekend of it, and this year’s blend of familiar headliners and fresh voices offers something for every kind of country listener. It is the perfect excuse to gather friends, soak up the energy and enjoy a summer tradition that keeps growing.

Port Credit’s Brightwater community is growing again as the City approves taller buildings, allowing heights up to 35 storeys and nearly 900 new homes. For many of us watching the waterfront transform, it feels like another step in shaping a vibrant neighbourhood with shops, parks and welcoming public spaces.

City leaders say the plan fits well with the area and reflects years of community input. With construction already underway, Brightwater continues to blend modern living with its historic lakeside roots.

Mississauga homeowners just got a helpful boost with the City’s new materials list for garden suites. It clearly outlines everything needed to build a small backyard home, making the process feel far less intimidating for anyone considering extra space for family or a bit of rental income. It is a simple resource designed to help residents plan with confidence.

With pre-approved plans already in place, this new step means fewer delays and quicker starts. It also supports gentle growth in our neighbourhoods, giving families more flexibility as Mississauga continues to adapt to changing housing needs.
