Osheaga 2025: A Foodie Experience Not to Be Missed

If there’s one summer event Montrealers look forward to each year, it’s OSHEAGA! Three days of music, emotions, discoveries, and (fingers crossed!) sunshine at Parc Jean-Drapeau. But once again this year, it’s not just the music that gets the crowd buzzing — the YULeat Gardens powered by Interac® are back, bigger, tastier, and more festive than ever!

From August 1 to 3, between shows and strolls with friends, take a break and treat yourself at one of the two YULeat spaces (a first this year!): YULeat 1, near the Coors Light Mountain Stage, and YULeat 2, by the Bell River Stage. Around ten Montreal-based food vendors will be serving up delicious, lovingly crafted dishes to keep you fuelled for your next mosh pit or dreamy solo.

Local, diverse, heartfelt cuisine

Osheaga has become a playground for food lovers too. And this year, there’s something for every taste, every culture, and every craving — with vegetarian options available throughout the site.

Here are a few must-try foodie stops:

• Pan American Pizza: the perfect grab-and-go slice as you head toward the main stage. Crispy, generous, efficient.
• El Gordo: tacos bursting with flavour and Latin vibes. Sunshine on a plate.
• Sandwicherie Sue: fresh Vietnamese sandwiches full of texture and taste. A total crowd-pleaser.
• Loumi: Mediterranean flavours with a light, fresh, and colourful twist.
• Ca Lem: the city’s happiest ice creams, with tropical flavours and vibrant colours. Yes, Instagram will go wild.
• Chom Chom: bold Asian dishes perfect for those who love food that tastes like a journey.
• Athéna: a Greek detour with reimagined classics that are generous and deeply satisfying.
• Nouveau Standard: elevated local comfort food, well-crafted and delicious — whether you share or keep it all to yourself!

Here’s the full lineup, divided into two sections — the big new feature this year being the dual setup:

YULeat 1 (near the Coors Light Mountain Stage):

• CA LEM
• EL GORDO
• LOUMI
• PAN AMERICAN PIZZA
• SANDWICHERIE SUE

YULeat 2 (near the Bell River Stage):

• ATHÉNA
• CHOM CHOM
• NOUVEAU STANDARD
• PIZZA
• POUTINE

A festival that’s full of flavour — literally and figuratively

The YULeat Gardens powered by Interac® once again shine a spotlight on local talent. Montreal is bursting with creative, generous, and passionate food makers. Having them all in one festive space is a golden opportunity to taste the city’s culinary diversity. And if you’re vegetarian or just looking for healthier options, you’re in luck: almost every menu offers meatless or lighter fare.

And to quench your thirst?

A festival without drinks is like a show without an encore. You’ll find bars all over the site serving a great variety of beer, wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages. Whether it’s a cocktail to close out the day or a soda between sets, there’s no shortage of refreshing options.

This edition promises to be unforgettable — and not just because of the music. With a broader, more local, and more inclusive food offering than ever before, OSHEAGA has truly become a place where gastronomy stands side by side with sound.

So whether you’re here to dance, sing, eat — or all of the above — one thing’s for sure: you’re in for a treat.

Happy festival — and bon appétit!
