When and where is the India Pavilion?

The pavilion runs for two days over one weekend each spring at the Paramount Fine Foods Centre, 5500 Rose Cherry Place (Rink 3), Mississauga. The 2027 dates and hours will be announced with the Carassauga festival calendar; follow @carassaugaindia or check back here.

How much does it cost to get in?

Entry is with a Carassauga Passport, which gives you unlimited access to every pavilion across Mississauga for the whole weekend. Children 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult passport holder. Current pricing and advance online sales are at carassauga.com.

Where do I buy a passport?

Online in advance at carassauga.com, or at the door of any pavilion during festival hours. Buying ahead skips the line.
