If you were fighting it this past month, you can't deny it any further: the holidays are here and everyone's fully committed from here on out. That includes us: holiday market season is here, and our own first-ever market is setting up shop in Griffintown, then there's the Santa Claus Parade, and more enough artisanal pop-ups with festive spirit.
We hope we'll see you this weekend, as the whole team from The Main will be there to say hi, talk shop, hear your anecdotes and jokes about the city, and toast the end of an amazing year together.
Last chance to win a $250 shopping spree!
The Main’s First Annual Holiday Market is happening this weekend, November 22–23, in Griffintown. Entry is free all weekend, and if you RSVP before 11:59 p.m. today, you’ll be entered to win a $250 gift card for a shopping spree at the event.
