About
Locoshop Angus is a large multi-purpose event and creative space in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal, Canada. Its address is 2600 Rue William-Tremblay, in the Angus district, a short way from the centre of the city.
The building
The venue is housed in a former locomotive repair workshop, and its industrial character is part of the visit. The large open interior is what gives the space its flexibility, so the look of a given evening depends very much on what is being held there.
What happens there
The space hosts a wide range of events, including:
- concerts
- markets
- festivals
- cultural gatherings
Because the programme changes, it is worth checking what is on before you go, so you know whether the event you are interested in is taking place at the time of your visit.
Planning a visit
Locoshop Angus suits visitors who want to see how Montreal gathers around music, food and creative work, rather than a conventional museum or sightseeing stop. It also makes a good pairing with a wider day in the borough, since the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie area sits within easy reach of the rest of the city. Going during a scheduled event gives the fullest sense of the place, while a quieter moment lets you appreciate the building itself.
