Garage Sales Laval 2026: The Complete Guide to Finding the Best Deals

Laval is the perfect city for garage sales. Discover the best neighborhoods, the calendar, and our tips for thrifting.

Laval is the ideal city for garage sales. Large, residential, with houses that have garages, basements, and yards — exactly the kind of place where families accumulate things for years before deciding to bring it all out one beautiful Saturday morning. If you haven't explored garage sales in Laval yet, you're missing out.

The 2026 season starts May 15th. Here is everything you need to know to make the most of it.

Why Laval is a Golden City for Bargain Hunters

Laval has some concrete advantages over Montreal for garage sales.

Space

Laval houses often have a double garage, a finished basement, and a backyard. More storage space = more accumulated stuff. A sale is often much better stocked than in Montreal.

Stability

Many Laval residents have lived in their homes for 15, 20, or 30 years. That produces sales with vintage items, solid furniture, and very reasonable prices — they want to empty, not get rich.

Clusters

The density of certain sectors like Sainte-Rose or Fabreville creates natural clusters — several sales in the same corner on the same weekend for a great circuit.

The 2026 Garage Sale Calendar in Laval

The season officially starts mid-May and continues until September.

Key Moments of the Season

Mid-May
(From the 15th) First warm weekend. Sales explode after the winter. Best deals because everyone sells at the same time.
Late May
(National Patriots' Day) Long weekend = lots of sales. One of the best weekends of the year.
June
The most active month. Good weather, approaching school holidays, moving preparations.
July
Good volume early in the month. The summer heat can then slow down purchases in full sun.
August
(Back to school) Second major peak. Sale of outgrown clothes, toys, and summer sports equipment.
