Last but certainly not least among our Sponsors to thank and share are our official partners for the festival!

Swipe to see all their respective logos; first of course is wonderful folks from the City of Mississauga! Celebration Square has been our home since 2016 and we love working with the City year after year to bring to you what we do! Next is our official community sponsor - T&T Supermarkets! With 14 locations in Ontario, and 33 total across Canada - they "are the Asian supermarket where everyone loves to shop!"

Then we have our official cultural sponsor - everyones' favourite uncle - Uncle Tetsu! Not only are his Japanese cheesecakes light, fluffy, and oh-so-tasty, but he is also responsible for bringing us the fabulous talents of Entorance 10-2 year after year! Then of course who could forget the local media company started by the incredible MC we know and love - we of course are talking about Khaled Iwamura and InSauga - our official media sponsor! InSauga does upwards of 750,000 pageviews in one day and boasts 12-million page views a month that has become the go-to source for local breaking news, culture, and events for communities across the GTHA!

And finally we have our official entertainment sponsor - Bandai Namco! Having joined us over the course of the pandemic when we had to go virtual, Bandai Namco has continued their journey with us and are the force behind this years' headliner MindaRyn!

A huge thank you to these incredible sponsors for their ongoing support!
