There’s something special about wandering a night market. The colourful sights the boisterous sounds and the smells wafting from food vendors all make for an unforgettable experience. The 2023 edition of Montréal’s Chinatown Asian Night Market is back and bigger than ever.
This year the Marché de Nuit or Night Market is in collaboration with Mural - a nonprofit organization based in Montréal, whose mission is to make street art more accessible - featuring installations by Cambodian artist Maylee Keo. Visitors will be welcomed with a whimsical footpath adorned with art, floral garland, and lights that will set the mood with an inviting glow over the entire event - enchanting!
Their mission (as is every year) is to revitalize and empower local business to maximize the commercial vitality of Chinatown and bring life into the neighbourhood. This initiative invites locals to rediscover this vibrant part of the city.
It’s a celebration of food and culture which includes mesmerizing shows and street performances, not to mention interactive games, face painting, a thrilling mural painting battle and a host of other fun activities for the whole family.
Market goers will find a wide range of food vendors selling from smokey meat and seafood skewers cooked over charcoal fire, mochi doughnuts, dim sum, dumplings, fresh fruit smoothies, bubble tea and other delights!
The majority of menu prices will vary between $4 and $8, with premium dishes costing between $9 and $12.
The Asian Night Market takes place at Parc Sakura in the Esplanade du Palais des Congrès (de La Gauchetière street and rue Côté street) from August 24 to 27, 2023. Thursday-Friday 5PM to 10PM, Saturday-Sunday Noon-10PM. Admission is FREE!
