Streetsville was a separate town up until 1974 when it was amalgamated into the City of Mississauga. The local BIA works hard to promote Streetsville as a destination and manage the beautification and maintenance of the village. Local residents volunteer on everything from historic preservation through Heritage Mississauga to the annual Streetsville Village Blitz cleanup event. And regular, neighbourhood events set Streetsville apart as a dynamic yet unified community.

In another show of community pride, Streetsville has actually kept many of its historic street names despite those roads now forming part of major Mississauga throughways. For example, Mississauga Road is called Queen Street in the stretch that runs through Streetsville and Bristol Road is Main Street.

We love the pride of place and sense of history that Streetsville residents uphold to this day.

This community celebrates two of our favourite foods at the annual Bread and Honey Festival. The Festival started in 1973 as an effort to retain Streetsville’s unique identity as it merged with the larger City of Mississauga. The area has its roots in bread as a mill town and is still the location today of Kraft Canada and

The Bread and Honey Festival is held on the first weekend of June at Memorial Park and every entrant gets – you guessed it – unlimited, free bread and honey.

In addition to the Bread and Honey Festival, Streetsville has great, family-friendly Canada Day festivities, is home to Mississauga’s Santa Claus Parade and hosts the popular Taste of Streetsville in the fall for residents to sample local restaurants through affordable prix fixe menus.

The Credit River runs through it with Streetsville which occupies both the east and west banks. The area directly surrounding both sides of the river is a mixture of parkland and wilderness with trails which is very pretty. Residents make use of this green space for family picnics and walking and jogging, accessed through Streetsville Memorial Park near the Vic Johnston Arena.

A word of caution – this part of the river has whitewater with Class II rapids which can become Class III in spring flood season and so it’s not an area for children to play unsupervised. It is however a popular stretch for canoeing, kayaking and rafting; we recommend you raft with a seasoned, professional crew.
