What is Victoria Day?

Queen VictoriaVictoria Day is a Canadian statutory holiday celebrated on the Monday preceding May 25 in every province and territory. It honours Queen Victoria’s birthday. In Quebec, this holiday is called “National Patriotes Day” (Journée Nationale des Patriotes).

Victoria Day is also commonly referred to as the “May two-four weekend” or the “May long weekend” and it marks the unofficial start of summer & the cottage season. Outdoor pools often open on this weekend and BBQs and camping trips are the norm.

Queen Victoria was born on May 24th, but Canadians celebrate Victoria Day on the Monday before May 24. This year Victoria Day is May 18th, 2015.
