Major Cities in Quebec

Montreal Area Yard Sales

Montreal is one of the best cities in Canada for yard sale hunting. Neighbourhoods like the Plateau, Rosemont, Verdun, and Pointe-Claire host regular weekend ventes de garage from spring through fall. The densely populated island means you can walk or bike between multiple sales in a single morning. Laval and the North Shore communities — Terrebonne, Repentigny, and Saint-Jérôme — also have active garage sale scenes, as do the South Shore suburbs like Longueuil, Brossard, and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

Quebec City and Eastern Quebec

Quebec City and its surroundings — including Lévis across the river — have a strong yard sale culture, particularly in the older residential areas of Sillery, Sainte-Foy, and Beauport. Further east, Trois-Rivières, Sherbrooke, and Drummondville in the Centre-du-Québec region have regular weekend sales. The Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, including Saguenay and Alma, has a shorter but active season during the summer months, and the Gaspé and Bas-Saint-Laurent regions see community sales in the warmer months.

Gatineau and Western Quebec

Gatineau, located across the Ottawa River from the national capital, shares the Ottawa Valley’s active yard sale scene. The Hull and Aylmer sectors of Gatineau regularly host weekend garage sales, and the surrounding Outaouais region — including Val-d’Or and Rouyn-Noranda — has seasonal sales during the summer. Many Gatineau residents cross-list their sales to reach both Quebec and Ontario shoppers.
