A Day of Culture, Creativity & Connection

This Family Day, we’re opening our doors and turning the Luxe Convention Centre & Hyatt Place Hotel into a cultural playground for Mississauga families. In collaboration with the Mississauga Arts Council.

Live music from a 7-piece band. Latin dance sessions. Creative Workshops. 30+ musical instruments to explore. A magic show. Food stands, tasting stations, and a full dinner service to end the night.

A gathering where local artists share their craft, kids get to create and move, and families enjoy a full day of activities together.

Entry is free. Just register to save your spot.
Come and go as you like, stay for an hour or stay all day.
Three creative workshops are available to book separately; all fees go directly to the artists.

Why We’re Doing This

We’ve hosted many gatherings at Luxe. Now we’re aiming to create something more – a cultural home for Mississauga.

Family Day is our first step. A day to connect local artists with the community. To give families something meaningful to do together. To show what’s possible when you open the doors and invite people in.

There is more to come, and we’d love for you to be a part of it.
