A perfect way to support local.

Looking to get started on your holiday shopping? Trying to find unique gifts that support local artists? Head to Montreal's Chinatown this weekend for le Marché Spectaculaire, presented by Fleurs & Cadeaux and Poincaré Chinatown.

As one of the city's go-to spots for culture, the neighbourhood never fails to provide amazing items and vendors and, of course, products unlike anywhere else in Montreal.

Fleurs & Cadeaux is actually a restaurant (despite what you may think from its name) and is a Chinatown favourite for its Japanese-inspired menu. And Poincaré Chinatown is another gem in the neighbourhood for wine and beer.

"Le Marché Spectaculaire is an opportunity for us to lend our dining rooms, which we no longer use to serve you, to our craftsman friends," the event page says.

The event will host 14 vendors, including Raphaël Biscotti, Bilak Jewelry and La Rama Records.

And don't worry if you get hungry or thirsty, there will be food and beverage vendors there, too.

The event will be held from Friday, November 20 to Sunday, November 22 from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.

It will be held at Fleurs & Cadeaux and Poincaré Chinatown's locations, respectively 1002, rue Saint-Urbain and 1071, boul. Saint-Laurent on the second floor.
