When is the Montreal Artisans Fair?

From December 10 to 20, 2026, the inaugural Montreal Artisans Fair brings together more than 200 professional artisans from across Quebec and beyond. Best of all, admission is completely free for all 11 days.

Where is the Montreal Artisans Fair?

The fair will take over the Palais des congrès de Montréal, a 15-minute walk from the Montreal Eaton Centre—where you'll find some of the best shopping in the city, Time Out Market Montréal (home to some of the best chefs and restaurants under one roof) and is directly connected underground to McGill Station which integrates the REM (Réseau express métropolitain) light rail network and the STM Green Line metro.

What artisans are participating?

Organized by Groupe Pro-Expo, the team behind Quebec City's long-running Salon des artisans de Québec, the new fair aims to become a holiday-season destination for discovering more than 200 independent makers, locally crafted products and original gift ideas.

Forget your usual holiday shopping routine. The Montreal Artisans Fair will bring together a diverse lineup of professional creators working across a wide range of disciplines, including jewellery, ceramics, woodworking, textiles, clothing, accessories and leather goods.

Among the announced exhibitors are Poterie Bonmatin, Andrei Ka Studio, Alain Mailhot Sculpteur, Les Sacs Anémone, Kobak Bijoux, Les Lampes de Marie, Art VM Studio de Céramique, Joaillerie Carmin & Flint, Les Cuirs Bermont, Les Mains Folles, Advika Clothing and Les Vêtements Orizon.

Beyond browsing and shopping, visitors will have the opportunity to meet the people behind the products, learn about their creative processes and hear the stories behind their work. Everything will be available to purchase on-site, making it a chance to find something genuinely different while supporting Canadian artisans and independent businesses.

A gourmet marketplace with more than 50 food artisans

There's also plenty to tempt your taste buds. The fair's food section is expected to feature more than 50 food artisans and producers, including chocolatiers, beekeepers, maple syrup producers, jam makers and specialty food businesses.

Confirmed exhibitors include Kao Chocolat, Chocolaterie Montérégie, Fays Terroir Chocolaté, Hazelle Chocolat Noir, Miel Morand, Miel Nature, Miellerie de l’Artisan, Confiturerie Tigidou, Vignoble Le Di-Vin and Érablière et Verger Les Jardins d’Émilie.

Whether you're putting together a gourmet gift basket, searching for something sweet to bring to a holiday gathering or simply looking to discover Québec-made delicacies, this is an opportunity to stock up on local flavours.

The event is backed by more than three decades of experience from Groupe Pro-Expo, which has been organizing public events across Québec for over 34 years. Its Salon des artisans de Québec, launched in 2005, has become an established holiday shopping tradition.

Now, the organizers are bringing that concept to downtown Montréal, with the support of Desjardins as the event's official presenting partner.

The idea is to give professional artisans a major platform while making their work accessible to the public. And with free admission throughout the entire event, there's no reason not to stop by, browse the stalls and discover something made close to home.
