ome events as soon as you hear them just sound cool. For some (mainly the geeky), Pointe-à-Callière Museum's 18th-century public market is one of those events. The market at Place Royale, the exact location of Montreal's first public market, turns Old Montreal into a bustling period piece. Expect street performers, arts and crafts, and food to crowd the streets, as well as over 100 period figures and two military regiments. There's also a tribute to Samuel de Champlain. Needless to say, they've gone all out for this thing. The event takes place Saturday and Sunday.
