Permanent Pop-up

A POP-UP RETRO ARCADE

It’s time to geek out and game on with an absolute blast from the past: A retro arcade pop-up from the Plateau’s own North Star Pinball has appeared on the bridge below the massive skylight of Time Out Market Montréal, and it’s got all the retro fixings with classic pinball machines, arcade games like Pong and Pac-Man, tabletop hockey with an old school Super Chexx machine, and even a photo booth for a take-home memento. The installation is part of the Market’s Love Local initiative to support and collaborate with local businesses, artists, and beyond. It’s all made possible thanks to the city’s own North Star Pinball – arcade experts who have been collecting machines for over a decade—and it’s just the thing the city needs for date nights, nights out with the family, or just getting together with friends.
