About Victoria Day
Victoria Day is a Canadian statutory holiday held on the Monday on or before 24 May. It originally honored the birthday of Queen Victoria and now marks the official birthday of the reigning sovereign in Canada. Widely regarded as the unofficial start of summer, it opens the season for gardening, cottage trips, and outdoor activities across much of the country.
Fireworks are the hallmark of Victoria Day, with public displays lighting up cities and towns on the Sunday evening or the holiday Monday. Many Canadians open their summer cottages, plant gardens, and enjoy the first long weekend of warmer weather. Some communities hold parades, and Victoria, British Columbia, marks the day with a notable procession honoring its royal namesake.
