Carassauga is approaching

For those who don't know anything about what Carassauga is, here's the update:
Established in 1985, the Carassauga Festival is an incorporated not-for-profit organization that organizes a city-wide multicultural festival to promote understanding, respect and co-operation among all Canadians of different heritage. This annual three-day family event spans 20 operating hours and is scheduled during the last weekend in May. Pavilions featuring a wide variety of activities depicting many cultures are showcased in public buildings throughout the city. Each pavilion represents a different country, and is operated by a local volunteer ethno-cultural organization. The Carassauga Festival runs on Friday May 22, Saturday May 23, and Sunday May 24.
Advance tickets are $10.00 and at-door passports are $12.00. Tickets are redeemed at any Pavilion for a passport which entitles the visitor to unlimited access to all pavilions all weekend long. Your ticket or passport also allows you to hop aboard the Mississauga Transit and ride for free on regularly scheduled routes to the pavilions during the festival's operating hours. Advance tickets will be sold until Friday May 22 @ 6:00pm.
