Wonderfest

WonderFest will display live music, visual art, stop-motion animation, and spoken word from emerging and award-winning artists from Mississauga. As natives to the city, we will celebrate its 50th anniversary by showcasing original works to inspire audience members and create a community that will link arms to bring Mississauga art into the mainstream. With the stellar lineup of artists, we will celebrate the creativity of Mississauga and bring awareness to the community of other forms or art.

Live music performances include U.N. Jefferson (2024 Established Music Group MARTY Award Winner), Wilson & the Cast Aways (Mississauga Music Nominee), Jenna (2024 Emerging Solo Artist MARTY Award Winner),and Sarah Catharine (2023 Emerging Solo Artist MARTY Award Winner). We have different genres of music so that the listeners can grow their musical tastes and so the artists can grow their fanbase. Visual Artist, Melina Cossio, will be displaying her pieces on stage to act as a beautiful backdrop for the performances.

Spoken word artist, Wali Shah (2024 Established Literary MARTY Award winner) will perform a couple of his moving pieces in between the musical acts. Among his incredible growing career, Wali is an alumni of RBC’s Top 25 Canadian Immigrants.
