GrosJoueurs is a gaming event held in Montreal, Canada, and this 2026 edition runs over two days, November 13 and 14. It is aimed at gamers and at visitors who are simply curious about the hobby, so it can suit an enthusiast planning a dedicated trip as well as someone looking for a different kind of weekend in the city.
What to expect
The name is French-Canadian, which fits the city: Montreal is a French-speaking metropolis, and an event rooted there gives a visit a distinctly local flavour. Beyond that, the details of the programme are not something to assume in advance, so it is worth knowing what you are looking for before you arrive.
- A two-day event in mid-November, which makes it a short, focused visit.
- A gaming crowd, so it suits people who enjoy play, conversation and discovery around games.
- A chance to combine the event with time in Montreal itself, a city with a rich food scene, historic streets and a strong cultural life.
Planning your visit
Programming, venue and ticket information can change from one edition to the next, so the official channels for GrosJoueurs 2026 are the place to confirm them. Checking them early will help you arrange travel and accommodation around the event dates, particularly if you plan to explore the wider city.
