Welcome to Chợ Đêm MTL, the Vietnamese night market that turns Montreal’s Bassin Peel into a four-day explosion of food, culture, and community energy.
Running from July 17 to 20, 2025, this year’s edition is its most ambitious yet. You’ll find everything from chạo tôm and pho to handmade ceramics, lo-fi folk remixes, bamboo dancing, and intergenerational storytelling—all on the waterfront, under string lights, with 25,000 people eating and dancing alongside you.
It’s part block party, part cultural archive, and all heart.
Where food meets heritage: What makes Chợ Đêm MTL different?
Now in its third year, the Vietnamese cultural festival Chợ Đêm MTL has grown from a grassroots project into one of Montreal’s most anticipated summer festivals. But its mission hasn’t changed: bring every generation of the Vietnamese community together—elders and artists, aunties and adoptees, first-gen kids and brand-new newcomers—and invite the entire city to the table.
