Place Publique 2023

Fonderie Darling is delighted to announce the return of its outdoor events to the new Place Publique du Sable-Gris, soon to be unveiled. After 2 years of major renovations by the City of Montreal, official and permanent pedestrianization, and years of fervent wishes, 2023 will mark the renewal of this space, destined to (re)become a place for civic, artistic and cultural gatherings. The new Place du Sable-Gris will host 6 events from August 24 to September 28. Performances, mediation activities, musical ambiances and an outdoor terrace-bar will all be featured.
