For those who like to get out of the house before sunrise and go bargain hunting, the Marché aux puces de Sainte-Foy is not to be missed. The largest open-air flea market in Québec City, it offers bargains on everything from vintage memorabilia to second-hand items and knick-knacks. Located in the Sainte-Foy neighbourhood (from which it takes its name) until 2019, the Marché aux puces de Sainte-Foy is now located on the ExpoCité site.
Once a week, from mid-May to early September, rain or shine, the Marché aux puces de Sainte-Foy occupies the P3 car park at the ExpoCité (corner of Soumande and Avenue du Colisée). The stallholders usually start arriving at 05:00 and the latecomers have their stalls ready by 08:00. The Marché aux puces de Sainte-Foy is known as a place where the early bird catches the worm, although those who do not feel like beating the sun on a summer Sunday need not worry.
Although the area is large and spacious, stallholders fit their stalls close together, filling the space with thousands of unique items. The Marché aux puces de Sainte-Foy is overflowing with vintage and second-hand clothes, toys that will bring you back to the good old days, kitchen utensils, decorative items, ornaments, furniture, paintings, jewellery, LPs, pictures and much more! Flea market lovers who visit this flea market can easily spend the whole day exploring all that this flea market has to offer.
The Marché aux puces de Sainte-Foy takes place only during the summer and very early autumn, in the open air and usually in pleasant weather.
