The Marché Public de Pointe‑aux‑Trembles marked its 15th anniversary on Saturday, June 22, 2026, highlighting a decade‑and‑a‑half of operation as a central gathering place for residents of the east‑end neighbourhood.
The market originated from a citizen petition that called for a revitalized public space in Pointe‑aux‑Trembles. Responding to that request, the Saturday market was established and has since become a regular venue where regional growers present and trial their products before the public.
Local food producers from the surrounding area set up stalls each Saturday, offering fresh produce, baked goods, and other regional specialties. Over the years, the market has attracted thousands of visitors, drawing both longtime residents and newcomers who come to purchase seasonal items and to interact with growers.
Organisers noted that the market’s longevity reflects its role in fostering community interaction. By providing a space where people can meet, shop, and share information about local agriculture, the market continues to support neighbourhood cohesion.
Looking ahead, the market’s organizers plan to maintain the Saturday schedule and to keep the focus on showcasing regional agricultural products. The anniversary celebration underscored the market’s ongoing contribution to the social and economic fabric of Pointe‑aux‑Trembles, reinforcing its status as a lasting community hub.
