Mississauga: Mississauga LATIN Festival presents its 14th Anniversary on July 29, 30 and 31 at the Celebration square with a cultural program, a spectacular parade, delicious Latin Food, Live Music, Folklore, Art Gallery, Kid Zone and a variety of craft exhibitors, non-profit organizations, Government and commercial companies.
Mississauga Latin Festival is a multicultural annual event. Every summer, this three-day event showcases the music, food, art, dance, and performances from Latin America entertaining over 45,000 visitors per year. Our festival is produced by Canadian Latin Heritage a non-for-profit organization established by community volunteers with the mission to promote the Latin culture from past generations, maintained in the present and bestowed for the benefit of future generations through cultural events where Latinos share, express, and appreciate their identity.
The Canadian Latin Heritage Association has played a very important role in producing the Mississauga Latin Festival, providing an outlet for the Latin American community to preserve its traditions and enjoy the historical legacy of its own heritage, with the primary goal of preserving their the language, music, food, folklore and cultural richness as well as to integrate them into Canadian culture.
Mississauga Latin Festival gratefully acknowledges the generosity of its Founding Government Partner, the Sponsors, and Media for their support.
The festival was founded in 2009 by Isabel Cuellar, a Colombian lawyer, who loves her roots and the Latin American culture and traditions. Isabel created the largest festival of Latin American culture in Mississauga, with a 3-day extravaganza featuring Latin America’s best cultural contributions to the city’s heritage.
Over the past 10 years many artists and a large number of volunteers, entrepreneurs, and officials have participated actively in the promotion and delivery of the Latin American Festival in the city of Mississauga. It is considered to be the largest of its kind in Ontario and attracts people from many other ethnic cultures from within Peel region GTA and other cities.
