    Time Out Market Montréal

    Every spring, Montreal cracks open a world of flavours, crafts, and cultures in one of the city’s most dynamic spaces. Marché ASIASIE returns to Time Out Market Montréal from May 22 to 25, 2025, bringing with it a packed celebration of Asian heritage, community exchange, and culinary discovery.

    Whether you’re a Mahjong shark, a sucker for saké, or just hunting down the best handmade dumplings in town, this four-day cultural market is one of the best things to do in Montreal this May.

    Organized by ASIASIE, a non-profit founded by Yasuko Tadokoro and Thien Vu Dang—creators of beloved events like Japan Week, POCHA MTL, and YATAI MTL —the market has grown to be a the place where Montreal builds meaningful bridges between Quebec and Asia through food, design, and shared culture.
