Canada's largest street food fest sums up summer-long run in Montreal tomorrow
The biggest street food event in Canada has been hanging around Montreal since June and it’ll draw to a close on Friday.
Les Premiers Vendredis (First Fridays) has been taking place every summer since 2012, albeit in a limited capacity during the pandemic. This time around, however, the summer-long street food party returned to its former glory.

Access to the site is free, but food and drink prices vary per vendor, usually between the $8 to $25 range. As its name suggests, the foodie fest has taken place on the first Friday of every month, since June.
The festival will conclude its five-month stay in Montreal and is expected to return in the summer of 2023.
Throughout the summer, street food dishes have offered a bit of everything ranging from tacos, churros, braised beef, paella, smoked meat, poutine, ice cream, doughnuts, and many others.
This weekend, the fest will be dishing out everything off the BBQ.
