Cancellation of the Mississauga Creative Craft Beer Festival 2024

It’s with great disappointment that we inform you of the cancellation of the Mississauga Creative Craft Beer Festival. This decision comes as a result of unforeseen circumstances beyond CreativeHub 1352’s control.


While we had previous agreements with the City regarding the capacity limits for the event, the City has decreased the capacity limit to a point where the event would no longer recover its costs. Despite our best efforts to navigate this challenge, we have been left with no choice but to cancel this year's event. We prioritize our vendors and it would be unfair to proceed with an event where the capacity was significantly lower than previous festivals. 


Please know that this decision was not taken lightly, and that we explored every possible avenue to proceed with the Festival as planned.


Once again, we extend our apologies for any inconvenience caused by this cancellation. We appreciate your understanding and continued support during this challenging time. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly.
