Saturday August 29, Sunday August 30.
10A.M to 8 P.M. 10A.M. to 6 P.M.

A great photo experience, people in period costumes, Military re-enactment, farmers, craftsman, storytellers etc.
Along with that you get a chance to sample wild fruit jams, maple syrup, cheese, chocolate and many other goods.
I've found that the best time to arrive is early Saturday before the offical opening of 10 AM, less crowds and you get a chance to talk to many of the people while they are setting up. After noon the crowds make getting pictures a little more difficult.

Will post some pictures of previous years later.

Sorry, Yes it's in Old Montreal at Pointe aux Callieres Museum at Place Royal.
If you take de la Commune you will run right into it.

This is how lace is made. I think I'll stick to photography.
