Festival Streetfood de Montr\u00e9al is back for its sixth edition, July 16 to 19, 2026, at the Clock Tower Pier in the Old Port. In six years, the event has grown from a neighbourhood gathering into one of the largest street food festivals in Qu\u00e9bec. This year, fifty kiosks from more than 25 different countries \u2013 a new record \u2013 take over the waterfront for four nights only. The festival is ready to welcome more than 70,000 visitors.<\/p>\n

\"FestivalLantern-lit alleys, charcoal smoke in the air, woks clattering, grills hissing, music that gets you moving. From jerk chicken sizzling on the grill to churros dusted in cinnamon sugar, sushi rolled to order, paella bubbling in a pan the size of a cartwheel, a golden Korean pogo, tacos that don\u2019t fit in one hand, and somewhere between it all \u2013 mango sticky rice, sweet, warm, impossibly good. Every kiosk is its own world.<\/p>\n

\"FestivalA FESTIVAL THAT KEEPS GROWING AND BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER
Launched in 2019, Festival Streetfood de Montr\u00e9al established itself as a must-attend summer event in record time. Each edition has brought more cuisines, higher attendance, and a sharper experience. In 2026, the festival welcomes kiosks from more than 25 different countries for the first time \u2014 a new record. Over 150 dishes to taste, to share, to talk about \u2014 because the best way to bring people together is still to eat together.<\/p>\n

\"FestivalWHAT TO EXPECT IN 2026
