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.
