Magical downtown Montreal Christmas market returns this week

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Montreal.

After several years of absence due to you-know-what, Noël Montréal is returning to the Quartier des Spectacles this week, offering a series of cultural, festive, and culinary events downtown.

The return of the Great Christmas Market means Montreal will have three options this holiday season along with the Village de Noël at the Atwater Market and the Marché de Noël de Jean-Talon.

With festive atmospheres, each market will be selling local products from maple syrup to toys, décor, clothes, sweets, food, trees, and drinks (great for gifts). It will host Christmas events as well as photo ops.
