Victoria Day, also referred to as May Long, May Run, or May Two-Four Weekend, is a federal and public holiday in Canada that honors the birth of Queen Victoria as well as signlaing the official beginning to the summer season in Canada.
In some cities, fireworks displays or parades are held to mark Victoria Day. One of the most notable parades is held in the city of Victoria, British Columbia, which was named after Queen Victoria. Many people gather in parks to enjoy fireworks displays, which are particularly impressive in Hamilton and Toronto.
