Centro in Summer Mode

The Festival des vins et spiritueux de Laval offers you a unique opportunity to discover and taste local and international wines and spirits. Explore more than 35 exhibitors, sample over 150 products, and enjoy countless opportunities to raise a glass! Centropolis is proud to host the third edition of this festival on July 4, 5 & 6 on the Promenade (between Pizzeria No900 and Clément).


The 5th edition of the Festival MOSAÏQUE Laval will take place from August 14 to 16 at Centropolis! This friendly and inclusive event celebrates cultural diversity through the arts. Get ready to dance!

Looking for Adventure Without Going Too Far?

While Centropolis has everything you need to enjoy a break, sometimes you just need to get out and explore. Whether you're planning a weekend camping trip or a hike in nature, there are several options in the area, such as the Bois de l'Équerre and Rivière-des-Milles-Îles Park.


Before you go, head to La Cordée, your one-stop shop for all your gear. Tents, backpacks, performance clothing, footwear, or specialty accessories—you'll find everything you need to set out on your adventure in comfort and safety. And if you need expert advice, their passionate team is there to guide you.


Your best ally for any sporting activity is undoubtedly a good pair of shades! Whether you're looking for a sporty style, a designer brand, or something tailored to your vision, stop by 42.2 or Iris to discover their wide range of available styles.


And finally, get the little ones ready by visiting Clément to find functional and cute outfits and help them enjoy their outdoor adventures.
