200 handpicked artisans returns to Montreal for the 69th time

It's happened nearly every December, turning the Palais des congrès into a hub of 200 craftspeople setting up shop to sell their hard work and wares: The 69th edition (nice) of the Salon des métiers d'art du Québec runs from December 11 to 21, 2025 with even more in-depth programming than previous years.

Why should you get excited for this? Though the term 'craftspeople' is used often to explain the people who are highlighted at this event, this isn't a craft fair in the farmers market sense. It's the province's only event exclusively dedicated to professional artisans, curated by the Conseil des métiers d'art du Québec, and it draws makers working in everything from ceramics, woodworking, jewelry, leatherwork, glassblowing, cutlery, and more from across Quebec and Canada.
