La Fête du Croissant is, above all else, one big celebration! It’s fun, delicious and honors our group of artisans who make the best croissants you’ll ever taste.

Once a year, a few weeks after Easter, more than 100 of the finest bakeries and pastry shops throughout Quebec come together and sell their hand-made croissants, freshly baked each morning. From Montreal to Îles-de-la-Madeleine, all participants agree that on this special day they will say thank you to their customers and offer each croissant for just $1.25.

Delicious hand-made croissants, baked fresh every morning, throughout Quebec!

Each year, thousands of friends, neighbours and families head to their local artisan to get their hands on these delicious croissants. The event sees huge success throughout the province: the pastries fly off the shelves literally like hot cakes! Bakeries often sell out in a matter of hours – even minutes.

La Fête du Croissant is a time to have fun. To enjoy, to share. To discover talented local artisans and appreciate their craft. It’s a festival that takes place in the hearts of communities, in dozens of locations in the province, large or small, urban or off-the-beaten-path. It’s a way to rebuild a close relationship with what we eat, and recognize the richness and diversity of artisans.

Our artisans are proud and passionate: each member of La Fête du Croissant has pledged to respect strict artisanal production methods.
