About This Event

Held just one week before Christmas 1991, this festive Christmas Banquet for Croatia brought together the local Croatian community in Mississauga for an evening of dining, music, and goodwill. Guests enjoyed dinner, live entertainment, and a raffle, with all proceeds directed to the Croatian National Fund for humanitarian relief.

In the spirit of the season, the event blended joy and compassion — turning a night of celebration into a gesture of hope for families affected by the war in Croatia.
