Marché de Lachine is a living record of Lachine’s past and a seasonal anchor for its present. Operating since 1909, this historic space has seen fires, rebirths, and reinventions, but today it blends heritage with community-driven commerce. From May to October, the outdoor stalls fill with local produce, flowers, and Christmas trees come December. Inside, vendors like Nonnina offer paninis, gelato, and Italian pantry staples year-round.
The atmosphere is low-key and neighbourly—part farmers’ market, part café, part social hub. Free parking, bike stands, and picnic tables make it easy to linger, whether you’re grocery shopping or grabbing a sandwich by the canal. If you’re looking for a market that still feels like it belongs to the people who live nearby, Lachine’s got the blueprint.
