About Port Credit Memorial Park
Port Credit Memorial Park sits right on Lake Ontario at the south end of Mississauga, near the marina. Open green space, mature trees, water on one side, easy access from the GO station and the Lakeshore. One of the better community-event venues in the west GTA. If you have not been, the picnic is a great excuse to make the trip.
About the hosts
Annual host of the picnic. Runs cultural, family, and faith-based events year-round, with the summer picnic among the larger gatherings on the calendar. Open to families inside and outside the community.
The host parish. For specific details on schedule, food vendors, programming, and parking, the community's official channels are the best source.
Come say hi
Swing by our booth, grab a snack, and let us know what event you are planning next. A lot of our best bookings start exactly this way: someone walks up at a festival, chats for a few minutes, and reaches out a week later to book their kid's birthday or company picnic.
Whether it is a school carnival, a church picnic, a cultural-association BBQ, a family day, or a neighbourhood block party, we can bring the festival booth to you anywhere in the GTA. See our community and association events page for packages, or browse machines and pricing.
