Chợ Đêm MTL returns to Griffintown’s Bassin Peel from July 16 to 19, with organizers expecting more than 25,000 visitors for what is expected to be the festival’s largest edition yet. Organized by the Association des Vietnamiens du Québec, the four-day event will feature 22 Vietnamese food, dessert and coffee vendors, more than 30 local artisans and merchants, and over 50 live performances, along with workshops and community discussions celebrating Vietnamese culture and Montreal’s diversity. Visitors can sample regional Vietnamese street food, participate in activities ranging from language lessons to cooking demonstrations and dance workshops, and enjoy a marketplace showcasing handmade goods and traditional Áo Dài clothing.

Organizers say affordability remains a priority, with $5 admission covering all performances and workshops, while most food items will cost $10 or less. Admission is free for children under 12, seniors 65 and older, wheelchair users and visitors wearing traditional Áo Dài. The festival will also feature accessibility measures and a zero-waste initiative through reusable food containers in partnership with RECYC-QUÉBEC and Bopaq.
