As part of the Festival Fierté Montréal, the M.A.D. Festival and the SDC du Village present the Rainbow Market, taking place from August 1 to 3, 2025, right in the heart of the Village, on Sainte-Catherine Street East. For three days, 2SLGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs, designers, and artists will gather to showcase their creativity and art to festivalgoers through pop-up spaces.

With over 550,000 attendees each year, the M.A.D. Festival serves as a platform for emerging artists, local designers, and international icons to share their passion with the public.
