The first-ever ASIASIE Market will be held at Time Out Market Montréal, and it’s going to be huge.

As part of Asian Heritage Month, the ASIASIE Market is inviting Montrealers to the Market in downtown Montreal to discover and enjoy diversified quality products from many parts of Asia—Cambodia, China, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam and more—without leaving the city.

With the mission to promote cross-cultural understanding through market artisans, exchanges and cultural activities, Time Out Market Montréal will be hosting the three day event from May 26 to May 28.
