On July 4 and 5, the Esplanade of the Olympic Park will come alive with street culture for the second weekend of Les Premiers Vendredis, the largest street food gathering in Canada. Around fifty gourmet food trucks, a vibrant music lineup, and an inclusive atmosphere will turn the space into a hub of flavors and connection.

This edition shines a spotlight on the flavors of the Philippines and world music, thanks to collaborations with collectives like Bonne Famille, Filipinos of Montreal, and Den Du Monde. Visitors will be able to enjoy signature dishes such as Vietnamese Cha Ca and boreal BBQ from Sève & Boucane, along with the sweet and savory classics that have made the event famous. Admission is free, and the vibe is joyfully festive.

A united front against food waste

This year, La Tablée des Chefs is proud to join forces with Les Premiers Vendredis and the team at Les Survenants for a powerful, visual awareness campaign against food waste.

Clear, accessible messages will be displayed directly on food trucks to inform and inspire festivalgoers to take simple but meaningful actions. It’s a way to bring environmental awareness into a joyful, shared experience.

"I’m truly excited about this collaboration with Les Survenants. Together, we have the power to make a real difference. Every action matters. Every meal shared too," says Jean-François Archambault, founder and executive director of La Tablée des Chefs.

A presence that’s festive, flavorful… and committed

Through this partnership, La Tablée des Chefs continues its mission to feed and educate, reaching a broad and diverse audience united by a love for good food.

Beyond indulgence, this participation is also a call to action: for food that’s more responsible, more compassionate, and more sustainable.
