      Everyone's Street, Nobody's Neighbourhood: The Story of Plaza St-Hubert

      Plaza St-Hubert

      Découvrez les lieux mentionnés dans cette histoire

      Épicerie Conserva

      Each summer, Plaza St-Hubert’s commercial stretch closes to cars and fills up with people hitting pavement populated by the now-annual festival PlazaPalooza, back from July 9 to 12 for its 4th edition in 2026. The programme will see everything from rock and hip-hop to Latin rhythms as vendors set up open-air shops. The event will welcome families, regulars, and newcomers to explore the street’s vast array of merchants.

      That festival’s wild and varied because it’s true to this street. It’s a street that doesn't have a single identity, and never did. It has Lebanese bridal merchants and Colombian bakeries, cowboy boot dealers and zero-waste pubs, decades-old smoked meat counters and bars for French expats. You can buy yourself a steampunk costume, jars of custom pizza chili crisp, a limited edition vinyl print, and a bite of nationally-lauded fine dining in the same afternoon.
