The Tim Hortons Southside Shuffle is held annually in the picturesque Port Credit area of Mississauga, just west of Toronto. Founded by Downchild vocalist and long-time Mississauga resident Chuck Jackson, The Tim Hortons Southside Shuffle has grown exponentially since its inception and boasts an impressive line-up of local, national and internationally celebrated blues artists performing on four stages and the ever popular Rabba Street Shuffle along Lakeshore Road.

Each year The Tim Hortons Southside Shuffle hosts 75,000 visitors over three days and, along with a small staff, Directors and Advisory Board, the festival employs the help of over 400 volunteers from the community. Recently Jackson was inducted in to Mississauga's Legends Row in part for his contribution as founder of the festival.
