Free Shipping for Canada - Victoria Day Weekend
For some, Victoria Day is a sign that summer is just around the corner. The holiday is only celebrated in Canada and Scotland. It began as a celebration to honour Queen Victoria’s birthday.
Happy birthday, Queen Victoria!
The British queen was born on May 24, 1819. She was a reigning monarch (queen) for 63 years, seven months and two days.
Victoria Day was declared a Canadian holiday by the government in 1845.
At that time, it was celebrated with picnics, parades, sporting tournaments, fireworks and cannon salutes.
When Queen Victoria died in 1901, Canada’s parliament officially named the holiday Victoria Day.
It was decided that the day would be celebrated on the second last Monday in May. In 2023, that's May 22nd.
In 1952, the government made the decision to begin celebrating Victoria Day on a Monday. It would be observed on May 24th if that worked out. Otherwise, it would be held on the Monday right before it.
Today, Victoria Day is a holiday throughout most of Canada. The day is usually marked in most cities with parades, outdoor events and activities like camping and fireworks displays. Today, it might be marked in different ways that allow people to keep a safe distance. That could be virtually online, on television or as a family in the backyard.
