Canada’s largest South Asian festival announces best ever line-up of free, family activities for Bollywood Monster Mashup 2016
Canada’s largest South Asian festival, Bollywood Monster Mashup presented by TD, brings even more fun and free activities to festival-goers and families for it's 6th year. On July 23 the outstanding Bollywood Monster KidZone returns to the festival. Starting at 2:00 PM, parents can bring their children to take part in free activities such as mini-car racing, kite-making, dance and fitness lessons, and more.
In collaboration with PAMA (Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives) and Heritage Mississauga, the KidZone area presents a variety of free make-it-and-take-it arts and crafts activities. Children are invited to make crafty elephant masks, flyable kites, water colour paintings and windsocks, to name a few. There will also be a section for more adventurous children! Energetic children can make new friends while playing tennis-inspired relay games, sponsored by Mohawk Park Tennis Club. The speedsters of the bunch will be able to burn off any leftover energy by zooming around in a mini-car driving area, sponsored by Toronto Area Ford Dealers.

The family-fun continues with free games and activities that everyone can enjoy. Get your hips moving, feet jumping and body grooving with hula hoop action, bean bag coordination and free Bollywood dance lessons! If this doesn’t work up a sweat, the free Bollywood fitness class instructors will make sure you do.
Former Mayor of Mississauga, Hazel McCallion delightfully describes the Bollywood Monster Mashup as “family-friendly with spectacular entertainment and a huge audience.”
For the first time ever at Celebration Square, a second stage is being added to provide live music and dance entertainment starting at 2pm on Saturday, July 23rd. This transforms into a remarkable social media stage at 8:00 PM. The social media stage allows festival-goers to get their picture taken with Bollywood Monster Mashup artists. The festival provides a photographer for the social media stage and encourages guests to bring their own camera or phone for their own memento.
Festival-goers who post photos online using #BollywoodMonster are automatically entered into a contest to win a meet and greet with the voice of “Munni Badnaam Hui,” Bollywood star Aishwarya Nigam, brought to you by Crown Royal. Only thirty lucky contestants get the chance to meet the voice of Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor at a secret location revealed after the Bollywood Monster Finale.
Come to be the most talked about summer festival of the year! No matter age or background, there’s something for everyone at the Bollywood Monster Mashup. Take part in the food, festivities, arts, crafts, and of course family fun!
