Presented by Signé Local
80 Quebec artisans over 2 weekends
November 27, 28 and 29 & December 4, 5 and 6 2026 - Admission is free
For 2 weekends at the start of the holiday season, the Old Port of Montréal Artisan Market brings together local makers and producers showcasing a range of homegrown products at Quebec’s busiest tourist destination. The Jacques-Cartier Pavilion will host 40 kiosks per weekend, in a warm and cozy space. From fine foods and body care to home decor, games, jewellery and handmade goods, everything on offer is designed and made in Quebec. The event is organized by the Old Port of Montréal and presented by Signé Local, a Montréal retailer representing more than 300 Quebec brands and over 4,000 products.
Right place, right time
The Old Port welcomes close to 7 million visitors a year. The market’s two weekends bookend Black Friday and kick off the holiday shopping season, a time of year when both Montréalers and tourists are on the hunt for gifts. The event is expected to draw about 30,000 people over its 6 days.
Locally made gifts
Every item sold at the market is made in Quebec by small business owners who run their own kiosks. It’s a chance for visitors to meet the people behind the products—a personal touch you won’t find in a mall aisle.
