The Beating Heart Festival

It has been nearly two years since Mississauga has experienced frequent all-ages concerts. After the untimely death of the influential Masonic Lodge in September of 2005, many assumed that the heart of independent music in Mississauga had unceremoniously ceased to beat. A once thriving, pulsating scene comprised of countless styles, personalities, and sounds became threatened with the reality of endless fragmentation, and eventual extinction. Thankfully, Mississauga's all-ages independent music scene is being rescued from the brink of obscurity, and is receiving a large dose of hope, passion and opportunity.
Held in conjunction with, and receiving immense support from the city of Mississauga and the "My Mississauga" initiative, the Beating Heart Summer Concert Series will be taking place Friday evenings beginning on July 6th and ending on August 31st, only pausing on July 20th for Mississauga's Ribfest. The outdoor all-ages concert series will be held on the lawn of Mississauga's central library, which is conveniently located across the street from both the Square One shopping centre, and Mississauga's City Hall. The Beating Heart will be going all out, and will feature shows on a large stage equipped with professional sound and lighting. Our location is accessible by every major bus route that is based out of the Square One bus terminal, and features FREE parking for those who drive.
It is our goal to provide a diverse selection of music throughout the summer. You will experience the best of many genres ranging from: Indie to Hardcore; Metal to Soul; Electronic to Ska, and everything in-between.
The heart of Mississauga's independent, all-ages music scene will be alive and beating once again. Come celebrate it's resurrection.
