We invite fellow travellers of the anarchist galaxy to come together for the 3rd edition of Constellation. Montreal’s festival of anarchy returns from May 14th to 20th, 2026, with a week-long, city-wide extravaganza of books, zines, skills, art, music, and more! Come take part in our decentralized experiment, where participants help set the tone, create the content, and weave together theory and practice across many spaces and formats.

Once again, we’re hosting two events at CÉDA (2515 rue Delisle) and hope to see many more autonomous events organized by YOU! Stay tuned for the launch of the online calendar, where you’ll be able to submit your events as part of Constellation 2026.

Saturday, May 16: Anarchist Bookfair

The Anarchist Bookfair returns to CÉDA with tabling inside and outside the building, bringing together books, zines, pamphlets, art, and other materials that speak to anarchy in all its forms. Multiple rooms at CÉDA and spots in Parc Vinet will host book launches, reading groups, discussions, film screenings, and other sessions throughout the day.

Sunday, May 17: Anarchist Skill Faire

On Sunday, CÉDA transforms into the sprawling, chaotic Skill Faire—a kind of anarchist science fair where trifold displays are encouraged and “please touch” is the norm. Tables and stations will showcase hands-on skills and tools, inviting people to try things out, ask questions, and leave with practical knowledge. In addition to tabling, there will be rooms reserved for longer, more in-depth skillshares that require time, focus, or specialized equipment.

Kids Zone

The Kids Zone will again offer childcare and kid-friendly activities, making it easier for parents, caregivers, and young people to participate in the festival. This year, we would love some help putting together more youth-oriented workshops and skillshares, so please get in touch if this is something that excites you.

Get Involved

We’ll be opening our submissions portal for table reservation and workshop applications soon. Check constellationmtl.net or our social media pages for more info later this month. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to reach us at [email protected] or on Signal (@constellation.2026).
