This weekend in Saint-Eustache
This weekend in Saint-Eustache
This weekend in Saint-Eustache — Friday, October 9 to Sunday, October 11, 2026 — belongs to one room: the cabaret in the Vieux, which stages a humour show on each of the weekend's first two nights, with a library morning for the smallest residents in between. Two more dated listings open the weekend's Thursday edge. The rest of a good Saint-Eustache weekend right now is the rolling layer: a film at the town's own 16-screen cinema, the year-round flea market on avenue Mathers, and the heritage quarter itself. And the honest headline for anyone reaching for the market bag: there is no street market this Saturday — the season ended September 26.
Photos for Saint-Eustache are still on their way. Every listing below is real.
The dated weekend, exactly as staged
Three dated listings fall inside the weekend itself, and two more open its Thursday edge. Everything else in this guide with a date falls the following week — see the preview below rather than a stretched claim here.
Bébé-comptines — Saturday morning at the library
Saturday, October 10, 2026, 10 to 10:30 a.m. The Bibliothèque Guy-Bélisle's baby-rhymes session — the weekend's one staged morning listing, from the Ville's own events calendar.
Virginie Fortin — Saturday night at the cabaret
Saturday, October 10, 2026 at 8 p.m. The second humour night of the weekend at La petite église. Tickets $38.75 on the venue's index.
Thursday edge: a benefit night and a living book
Thursday, October 8, 2026 opens the weekend early twice over: Une soirée signée 2 pierrots at La petite église at 8 p.m. ($45, benefiting the Fondation Manoir St-Eustache), and the library's Livre vivant with Geneviève Boismenu, 7 to 8:30 p.m., at the Bibliothèque Guy-Bélisle.
The rolling weekend: cinema, flea market, the old town
Saint-Eustache's film night needs no festival. Cinéma St-Eustache, 305 av. Mathers, runs a first-run programme plus a ciné-répertoire series that rolls on the operator's own site, cinemasteustache.ca — check there for Friday-to-Sunday showtimes. In the same complex, Le Zénith stages live shows year-round; its own programme is the surface for this weekend's stage listings. There is no second cinema in town and none is needed.
Saturday and Sunday daytime belong to 455 av. Mathers: the Marché aux puces Saint-Eustache runs Saturdays and Sundays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Fridays 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.), year-round — the weekend fixture that survives the street market's off-season. And the Vieux-Saint-Eustache itself is the stroll: the Moulin Légaré, the 1837 battle church and the manoir Globensky gardens along the Rivière des Mille Îles. For swims and skates, the Ville publishes its free-activity schedules for the Complexe aquatique (230 boul. Arthur-Sauvé) and the arenas on saint-eustache.ca — those current schedules, not this page, hold this weekend's exact times, because they change by session and a copied time goes stale.
The week after: October 13 to 19, and October 24
The dated run continues straight out of the weekend. Tuesday, October 13 brings the library's health conference (2 to 4 p.m.); Thursday, October 15, its Halloween-tagged causerie with Victoria Charlton (7 to 8:30 p.m.). Friday, October 16, The Big O String Band plays La petite église at 8 p.m. ($39). Monday, October 19, council sits at the mairie, 7 to 9 p.m. — public, agenda posted the Friday before. And Saturday, October 24, Mathieu Cyr closes the cabaret's staged October at 8 p.m. ($32.50). Late October also holds the season's two unconfirmed templates — the Citrouillards pumpkin U-pick, carried to October 31 on a magazine roundup, and the Ciné-Parc's Halloween evenings, programme unannounced — both worth checking on the operators' own surfaces, neither worth planning around until they confirm.
An honest empty state: no street market, no fair
Two things a Saint-Eustache weekend guide could easily fake, and this one does not. The Marché public du Vieux-Saint-Eustache's 2026 season ended Saturday, September 26, 2026 — rue Saint-Eustache is quiet on Saturday mornings until next summer, whatever a pattern-based listing tells you. And there is no fair: the Festival de la galette (September 19–20, 2026) is done for the year, it is a heritage festival rather than an agricultural fair, and Saint-Eustache has no agricultural society in any case. A cabaret weekend, honestly labelled, still fills itself: humour Friday, rhymes and a flea market Saturday, the old town and a film on Sunday.
