In 2006, with the help of [[Project for Public Spaces]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pps.org/ |title=Project for Public Spaces |website=Pps.org |access-date=2011-03-02}}</ref> the city started hosting "My Mississauga" summer festivities at its Civic Square.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mississauga.ca/portal/discover/mymississauga |title=Discover Mississauga&nbsp;– My Mississauga |website=Mississauga.ca |access-date=2011-03-02 |archive-date=24 February 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110224070425/http://www.mississauga.ca/portal/discover/mymississauga |url-status=dead }}</ref> Mississauga planned over 60 free events to bring more people to the city square. The square was transformed and included a movable stage, a snack bar, extra seating, and sports and gaming facilities (basketball nets, hockey arena, chess and checker boards) including a skate park. Some of the events included Senior's day on Tuesday, Family day on Wednesday, Vintage car Thursdays, with the main events being the [[Canada Day]] celebration, Rotary Ribfest, Tree Lighting Ceremony, and Beachfest.

Civic Square has completed its restructuring project using federal stimulus money, which features a permanent stage, a larger ice rink (which also serves as a fountain and wading pool during the summer season), media screens, and a permanent restaurant. It officially reopened at 22 June 2011 and has since been renamed as Mississauga Celebration Square. More events have been added such as holding free outdoor live concerts, and live telecast of [[UEFA European Football Championship]]. The square also holds weekly programming such as fitness classes, amphitheatre performances and movie nights during the summer, children's activities during spring and fall, and skate parties during the winter. The opening of the square has also allowed the city to hold its first annual [[New Year's Eve]] celebration in 2011.

In October 2012, the square had attracted its one millionth visitor.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mississauga.ca/portal/celebrationsquare/thanksamillion |title=Thanks a Million |publisher=City of Mississauga |access-date=2013-04-28 |archive-date=2 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140302173631/http://www.mississauga.ca/portal/celebrationsquare/thanksamillion |url-status=dead }}</ref>
