Lanaudière's public markets: a destination for all kinds of discoveries

April 30, 2025

When it comes to discovering the countless treasures of the Lanaudière region, there's nothing like a tour of its public markets! This summer, we invite you to meet the local producers and artisans of our magnificent region.

Until early autumn, public markets are coming alive in many Lanaudière municipalities. From one end of the region to the other, these temporary installations are ready to help you discover agri-food and craft products of all kinds.

There's no better reason to visit a farmers' market. Of course, they offer the chance to discover and buy fresh, high-quality products. They also serve as an engine for regional economic development, and reduce environmental impact by encouraging local purchasing. Above all, markets are a great way to meet producers, artisans and even your neighbors!
