🔥 The time has come!! The Constellation Bookfair/Skill Faire 2026 poster is ready and beginning to go up on the streets. This year's artist created a beautiful (and bilingual!) two-panel design that's perfect for turning heads on a street corner near you.
Printed copies are available for pickup at L'Insoumise. Quantities are limited but will be replenished soon.
You can also print your own: https://constellationmtl.net/pdf/bookfair_skillfaire26.pdf

💥☕ Le Grand Raid du Café pour Constellation 2026 ☕ 💥
🫵 Constellation a besoin de toi!
🫣 La Ville de Montréal regorge de café. Ce serait bien que Constellation aussi!
😇 Quoi de plus plaisant que de l'aide mutuel entre anarchistes?
🧩 Les règles du jeu sont simples: ramassez du café moulu là où vous en trouvez et apportez-le au CEDA les 16 ou 17 mai.
🦹🏻♂️ Bon Raid!

💥☕ The Great Constellation 2026 Coffee Raid ☕ 💥
🫵 Constellation needs you!
🫣 Montreal is full of coffee. And we hope our activities will also be very caffeinated!
😇 What's more fun than mutual aid for fellow anarchists?
🧩 The rules are simple: grab some ground coffee by any means necessary and bring it to CEDA on May 16 or 17.
🦹🏻♂️ Happy raiding!!
‼️ CONSTELLATION 2026 BINGO ‼️

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's the Constellation survey!
For those of you who love filling out 10-15 minute long forms, boy do we have a treat for you! Before clicking the link, light a candle, pour yourself a warm bath, and take a moment to process your experience at North America's largest anarchist event. Let memories wash over you (and the 1000 character limit of the cryptform). Cast your eyes upon the stars, as if for the first time--look! Behold! It's the perfect Constellation! Tell us what you see! (fill out the suggestions section).
Please, make the meeting where we look over these interesting.

✨ THE ONLINE CALENDAR IS NOW OPEN! SUBMIT YOUR AUTONOMOUS EVENTS FOR CONSTELLATION 2026.
The online calendar is back! Go to https://constellationmtl.net and click “Post your event” to submit your event as part of Constellation. The festival will span the entire week from May 14th to 20th, and we need your help to make Constellation 2026 the best year yet.
Drawing on our commitment to decentralize the organizing process, we’re hoping to have a jam-packed week full of events in addition to the Bookfair/Skill Faire weekend. We want all anarchists in the region, as well as those attending from out of town, to feel empowered to make the festival their own. The more people we have organizing different things, the more interesting and rebellious the festival week will be.
We’ll be reading over submissions to make sure they’re suitable, but our moderation will be minimal. Events don’t have to be explicitly anarchist. You can organize a soccer game or martial arts training in the park, a film screening at your favourite social space, a musical performance in an abandoned building, or anything else you want to make happen!
We’ll do our best to promote your events, but we also encourage you to post about your event online, put up posters in your neighbourhood, and spread the word within your community.
If you’re in need of inspiration, look no further! Over the course of the last year, we collected feedback, hosted brainstorming discussions, and organized visioning sessions. People have shared so many great ideas with us, far more than we’d be capable of organizing on our own. A broad summary of some of the ideas that were shared with us is included below.
In the spirit of anarchist self-organization, we’re hoping that some of these ideas might appeal to you and you’ll be inspired to make them happen. Of course, you don’t need to follow or be limited to this list and can propose something completely unrelated.
