Sunflower field coming to Ahuntsic
A large empty lot on Louvain in Ahuntsic will be sown with 10,000 sunflowers this summer. This is the same space that was turned into an outdoor coworking and socializing spot in the summer before the pandemic, and called Green haüs at the time.
A briefer event of interest this summer is a Vietnamese night market planned for the Peel Basin next month, on one weekend only.

The former Green Haüs space is still active, it’s just called Esplanade Louvain now.

That Vietnamese night market sounds like it could be great, although it only being there for one weekend doesn’t bode all that well. I envision a variation on the food trucks thing, which is largely an exercise in spending your time in ridiculously long lineups in order to pay through the nose for whatever you’re ordering (not to mention the anguish of deciding which of the many things to zoom in on because the lineups and prices basically prohibit you from trying multiple things). I hope I’m wrong.

By comparison, Hintonburg (in Ottawa) has a night market every Thursday night during the fine-weather season. Sounds like a better model for an actual good time, vs. the FOMO-like event of a one-off and the resulting lineups for everything.

I stopped reading when I got to the part about admission. I’m guessing, like Blork, that the food might not be all that cheap…so why do I have to pay admission just to get inside and pay more? I could go to Comiccon for that :P.
