The City of Mississauga is encouraging residents to celebrate the Lunar New Year, specifically the Year of the Horse, safely and respectfully by adhering to the Fireworks By-law and being considerate of neighbors. Lunar New Year, a tradition spanning over 3,000 years, is a time for family gatherings, cultural celebrations, and symbolic practices such as cleaning, decorating, and setting off fireworks. In Mississauga, residents may use consumer fireworks on private property during designated times, with new restrictions in place since 2025, including a ban on Roman Candle fireworks and limits on sales and permits.

The City also emphasizes fire safety during the festivities, advising caution with candles, decorations, and cooking practices to prevent accidents. Residents are reminded to respect noise control regulations and parking rules to maintain neighborhood harmony. For concerns about illegal fireworks use, the City provides a reporting system via 311 or online. Overall, Mississauga wishes its diverse communities a healthy, happy, and prosperous Lunar New Year while promoting safe and responsible celebrations.
