Occupy a sales space at the Sunday tam-tams

Last updated April 18, 2023

Want to occupy a sales space during the Sunday tam-tams at Parc du Mont-Royal? Montréal residents aged 16 or older may apply for a free permit. Here is what you need to know.

Reserve a free sales space

The tam-tam gathering at Parc du Mont-Royal is held every Sunday from May to September.

You must fill out an online form the Thursday before the event, between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. Only one space can be reserved per week. 

You need to have an email address to receive your permit. If your application is approved, you will receive a confirmation email within 48 hours, with your permit attached. Do not sell or share your permit.

Occupying a sales space with a reservation

Speak to an on-site agent on the Sunday of the sale between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Make sure that you claim your space before 12:30 p.m. or it could be given to a person on the waiting list.

Occupying a sales space without a reservation

​If you have not reserved a space by telephone, you can have your name put on the waiting list by going to the site in person on Sunday at 11:30 a.m.

There is no guarantee that spaces will be available.
