Where bánh mì meets the baguette.
Montreal's Old Port hosts the most poetic stop on the tour — a café culture pavilion, a vinyl listening bar spinning 60s Saigon pop, and the famous Bánh Mì-Baguette Fusion Contest pitting Montreal's best bakeries against Vietnamese delis. Fully bilingual programming throughout.
All programming included with festival admission. Cooking demos and tastings first-come, first-served.

60+ vendors at Montreal — here are a few highlights from the 2027 lineup.
Saint-Laurent Blvd staple — their xíu mại (meatball) bánh mì sells out by 3pm.
Egg coffee specialists, whipping yolks to cloud-like perfection since 2018.
Broth simmered 14 hours over open flame — a Montreal phở legend.
Yes, but gate tickets are $3 more and weekend passes often sell out. We strongly recommend buying online in advance.
All venues are wheelchair accessible with accessible washrooms, viewing platforms at main stages, and quiet zones.
Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome in outdoor areas. Service animals always permitted.
Flavours of Vietnam runs rain or shine. A handful of demos move under cover in bad weather — check our social channels day-of.
Absolutely — roughly a third of our vendors offer vegetarian/vegan dishes, clearly marked at each booth.
