Mississauga Music Walk of Fame

The Mississauga Music Walk of Fame honours local musicians who have made a significant impact on the city, Music Industry builders and innovators, and Mississauga’s very own International Superstars. It was founded in 2012 by the late Mississauga City Councillor Jim Tovey, a former rock musician who received his own star on The Walk following his untimely death in 2017.

In 2012, Councillor Tovey and the founding Walk of Fame Committee comprised of local music historians and enthusiasts John Stewart, Mike Beggs and Ric Cooper and performer/producer Patti Jannetta joined with the Port Credit BIA, the Southside Shuffle Blues Festival, sponsors and enthusiastic supporters to bring the first Mississauga Music Walk of Fame to life.

The Mississauga Music Walk of Fame is located in Port Credit Memorial Park in Mississauga Ontario.
