Gardening, cooking and cinema at the market

We won’t have time to get bored during the spring break at the Jean-Talon market. Every day, a new free activity is offered to entertain families: creation of plant mosaics, gardening or cooking workshops, cinema, board games… The program is rich and entertaining. Since places are limited for certain activities, parents are invited to register their child on the Jean-Talon market page.
