ENTERTAINERS - MAIN STAGE
Victoria Duffield
We are thrilled to announce that Canadian singer, songwriter, dancer, actress Victoria Duffield is the headliner for the 2019 Canada Day Together Festival.
Duffield recently released her third studio album earlier this year Day Won, following the successes of Accelerate and her debut album Shut Up and Dance. She also gained acclaim through her role on the television series The Next Star.
Victoria's one-hour set at TogetherFest begins at 9 p.m. ahead of a spectacular fireworks display at 10 p.m.
Saveria
Saveria is emerging as one of Canada's newest artists following her win on CTV’s hit TV show “The Launch” earlier this year. Her hit single "Down to the Roots" has been featured on Top 40 radio across the nation since it was 'launched' in February 2019.
Born in Russell, Ont., Saveria started singing at the age of eight. Now based in London, Ont., she has already performed at fairs, festivals, charity events, radio stations, and on television. She takes influence from John Mayer who ignited the fire, inspiring her to play guitar and write songs.
The Southdowns
The Southdowns return to the Canada Day Together Festival stage after first appearing in 2017 to help us celebrate Canada 150. Since then, the band's notoriety has only increased, having been recognized locally with several nominations, including the Upcoming Artist Award by Mississauga Music in 2018.
The Southdowns are an independent rock band from Port Credit (Mississauga, Ontario, Canada) with a rootsy southern flavor and catchy, radio friendly melodies. They are inspired by a number of musical backgrounds - Hard Rock, Southern Rock, Blues and Country Music.
Elyse Saunders
Singer/Songwriter Elyse Saunders is a country artist that blends her small-town Ontario roots with the bright lights of Toronto and Nashville – captivating crowds with her powerhouse vocals, dynamic presence and interactive charm. Catching one of her shows, it's easy to see why she's gained popularity at live music venues. Elyse Saunders has a decade of stages under her belt, with numerous singles to radio that have received airplay in Canada, UK, USA, The Netherlands and Japan.
In 2017 Elyse was invited to share the story of Equestrian Olympic medalist Jessica Phoenix and was inspired to co-write radio single, “RISE”. Inviting listeners to be unstoppable in their dreams, the single crossed-borders when Elyse was invited to perform it during the pre-ESPY Awards Show in Los Angeles
Roberta Battaglia
Young singing sensation Roberta Battaglia brings her powerful voice to the TogetherFest mainstage. At just 9 years of age, she surprises audiences wherever she goes. She recently appeared on City TV's Breakfast Television singing a cover of "Shallow." You won't want to miss her live performance on Canada Day.
Chinese Lion Dance
All Masters Lion Dance Cultural Association is based in Mississauga, Ontario. The team first started with the interest of a few to learn the Chinese custom and culture. As All Masters Martial Arts Centre grew, interest grew and Lion Dance members increased. Our Lion Dance team expanded throughout the community by participating in many small performances, especially during Chinese New Year. Over the years the team became well known to the community, and All Masters Lion Dance Culture Association was formed.
Catch their 20-minute presentation at 4:40 pm, kicking off our main stage entertainment.
