Clear your calendar and prep your stomach. Montreal's biggest outdoor food truck festival is back for another summer of bites, beats, and unbeatable vibes.

Les Premiers Vendredis (aka First Fridays) just announced its official 2025 season dates, and this year, each edition will stretch over a full two days. That means even more time to explore the city's best street food, drinks, music, and hangout spots — all right on the esplanade outside the Olympic Stadium.

Here are the dates you'll want to save:

  • June 6–7, 2025
  • July 5–6, 2025
  • August 1–2, 2025
  • September 5–6, 2025

While organizers haven't revealed any official themes or participating restaurants just yet, each month’s edition promises a unique foodie adventure with a rotating lineup of trucks, cocktails, musicians and DJs. In past years, the festival has featured everything from bao and tacos to raclette and vegan comfort food — plus bars, dance zones, and local merchants.

Whether you're a seasoned foodie, just out for drinks and snacks, or looking for a family-friendly way to soak up summer in Montreal, Les Premiers Vendredis is always a great atmosphere.

And the best part? Entry is totally free.
