Now in its 38th year, the Streetsville Founders' Bread & Honey Festival returns on June 4-6 with bigger and better live entertainment and free events.

Since its inception in 1973, Bread & Honey has been an important part of Mississauga's history and has grown into one of Mississauga's premier summer events, attracting thousands of people.

The 2010 Bread & Honey Festival will feature a spectacular parade and more activities for everyone to enjoy, both in town and at the park. The Bread & Honey parade returns again this year on Saturday, June 5 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m., going south on Queen Street from Britannia Road to Old Station Road.

For the fishing enthusiasts out there, head down to the banks of the Credit River on Sunday, June 6 (south of the Island Bridge) from 9 – 11 a.m. for the annual Fishing Derby. The derby is open to children 16 and under (please bring your own gear).

If you're craving a sweet treat, head over to Streetsville Memorial Park on Saturday and Sunday and visit the Bread & Honey Booth for free bread and honey! You can also find children's bouncers, a petting zoo and food concessions at Memorial Park throughout the weekend. Don't forget to check out the Island events on Saturday and Sunday, including Rona Kids projects, face painting, pony rides, the Arts, Crafts & Hobbies Marketplace, and the Busy Bee Children's Island Stage.

Last but not least, be sure to stop by the main stage for some great live entertainment. On Friday, June 4 at 6 p.m., enjoy the sounds of 50's and 60's rock with Little Peter and the Elegants, followed by Celtic rock band Fiddlestix at 8 p.m. On Saturday morning, catch community choir Justus at noon, followed by The McCartney Years, a Paul McCartney Tribute show, at 2:30 p.m. On Saturday evening, check out the power rock trio Ballroom Babies at 7 p.m. and alternative band The North at 8:30 p.m. On Sunday, you can catch the Mississauga Big Band at 11:45 a.m. and country quintet Switchbacks at 4 p.m.
